Adverb Clauses - New

Adverb clauses provide information about time, cause and effect, contrast, and conditions between ideas in a main clause. Examples include "When your father gets here, I will leave" and "Because the snow has melted, the rivers run high." Adverb clauses of cause and effect use words like "because," "now that," and "since." Adverb clauses of contrast use "even though" to express unexpected results. Adverb clauses of conditions use "whether or not" and "even if" to express the same results of a condition.
