GRAMMAR

TASK: ADDING USING SUBORDINATION NOTES

DATE: FEB. 6, 2015

Adding Information to Verbs Using Subordination

Good writers add information to verbs by modifying them with adverbs and

adverbial phrases. They also add information by adding an adverbial clause

to an independent clause. Just as adverbs and adverbial phrases add

information to verbs, adverbial clauses provide the same types of

information and are simply larger building blocks with the same function.

An adverbial subordinate clause by itself is a fragment. When you edit,

check that all your adverbial clauses are connected to a main clause unless

you have created a fragment for a rhetorical purpose. Below are some of the

words that introduce subordinate clauses classified by the logical

relationships they express.
