What is Adverb Clause?

A dependent clause that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or adverb in the independent clause.
(English Language Centre|University of Victoria)

Example: When it rains, I wear my hat.

Explanation

An Adverb Clause...
shows the relationship/sense between the independent clause and the dependent clause. Example, an adverb clause can show: - time order. - cause and effect. - contrast. - condition. is introduced by a subordinate conjunction can be placed before or after the independent clause. is followed by a comma (,) when the adverb clause is placed before the independent clause.

To make feeling of the relationship, Consider how we might combine these two sentences!!

1. The national speed limit was repealed. 2. Road accidents have increased sharply.

One option is using coordinate conjunction:

The national speed limit was repealed and road accidents have increased sharply.
Coordination with and allows us to connect the two main clauses, but it doesn't clearly identify the relationship between the ideas in those clauses.

To clarify that relationship, we may choose to change the first main clause into an adverb clause:

Since the national speed limit was repealed, road accidents have increased sharply.
In this version the time relationship is emphasized. By changing the first word in the adverb clause (a word called a subordinating conjunction), we can establish a different relationship/sense
