The Adverb Clause Recognize an adverb clause when you see one. An adverb clause will meet three requirements:
- First, it will contain a subject and verb.
- You will also find a subordinate conjunction that keeps the clause from expressing a complete thought.
- Finally, you will notice that the clause answers one of these three adverb questions: How? When? or Why?
