attributive clause:

adverbial clause:

When one sentence (clause) is used as an adverbial of another sentence (main clause), the sentence used as an adverbial is called an adverbial clause. What kind of adverbial is called what kind of adverbial clause. For example, a conditional adverbial clause is a conditional adverbial with a sentence.

Classification of adverbial clauses:

(1) Time adverbial clauses

All clauses must have leading words, and the words leading time adverbial clauses include when, before, after, until, as soon as, while, etc.

(2) Conditional adverbial clause

Mainly look at the conditional adverbial clause guided by if. If means "if". When introducing a conditional adverbial clause, it means that if there is an action of the clause, there will (not) be an action of the main clause. For example:

If it does not rain tomorrow, we will go there by bike. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will go there by bike.

If I get there early, I can see the doctor quickly. If I get there early, I can see a doctor quickly.

where and where are commonly used eg.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Where there is a will, there is a way.

we will go where the mother needs us most. We will go where the motherland needs us most.

(4) Usage Points of Causative Adverbial Clauses

The commonly used leading conjunctions are because, as and because. The difference between them is that when answering questions, cause is used; For obvious reasons, as or since； are often used; As and since clauses are often placed before the main clause, while because clauses are often placed after the main clause. eg.

Why did you go？ I went because Tom told me to go. Why did you go? That's because Tom asked me to go.

he was angry not because we were late but because we made a noise.

He was angry not because we were late, but because we made a noise.

(5) usage points of adverbial clauses of purpose

Common leading conjunctions are so that, that and in order that. Eg.

please speak more slowly so that we can make full notes. Please speak slowly so that we can take detailed notes.

I shall write down your address that I may not forget. I'll write down your address in case I forget it.

I sent the letter by air mail in order that it might reach him in time. I sent this letter by airmail so that he could receive it in time.

Note: The objective adverbial clause can be replaced by the infinitive verb. Eg.

We work harder than us finish it in a week. We work harder than usual to finish the work in a week.

third, the tense of the main clause is consistent with that of the clause.

In time adverbial clauses and conditional adverbial clauses, the tense consistency between the main clause and the clause is generally divided into the following two situations:

1. If the main clause is imperative, or there are modal verbs in the main clause, or the predicate verb in the main clause is the general future tense, then the clause uses the general present tense to represent the general future tense. For example:

Be concerned when you cross the road. Be careful when crossing the road.

put up your hand if you have any questions to ask. If you have any questions, please raise your hand.

the traffic must stop when the lights are red. When the red light is on, the vehicle must stop.

2. If all the predicate verbs in the main clause state the past, then all the main clauses can use the simple past tense. For example,

She could sing when she was four years old. She could sing when she was four years old.

object clause:

an object clause is a sentence used as an object component. Its composition is "leading word+subject+predicate+others", and its word order is declarative sentence word order. There are many conjunctions that lead to object clauses, and most of them have practical significance, which are called intentional conjunctions; That can also lead to object clauses, but it has no real meaning in itself, which is called unintentional conjunction.

1. The object clause guided by that can be used as the object of verbs, adjectives, etc. The common predicate verbs in the main sentence are say, know, hear, see, hope, think, believe, write, tell and so on. After adding adjectives such as afraid, worried, sure, etc. to the verb, you can also use the object clause guided by that.

I hope that he will come back soon. I hope he will come back soon.

2. In the object clause guided by that, because the conjunction that only plays a guiding role and has no specific meaning, it can often be omitted in spoken or informal style, and the nature and meaning of the original sentence will not be affected after omission.

3. The tense in the object clause guided by that is usually divided into three situations: if the main clause is the simple present tense or the simple future tense, the object clause can choose the tense according to the specific situation; If the main clause is the past tense, the clauses generally use the corresponding past tense; If the clause expresses objective truth, famous sayings, natural phenomena, etc., the tense of the clause is not limited by the main clause.

4. If the main sentence is I/we think (believe, guess, support, imagine ...), the negative word not should be transferred to the predicate of the main sentence if the following object clauses want to express negative concepts.

I don't think (that) you are right. I don't think you are right.

5. When a compound sentence with that object clause becomes an ambiguous question, if the predicate verbs of the main sentence are think, believe, guess, assume, imagine, etc. and the subject is the first person, the additional question part should be decided by the clause; On the contrary, the additional questions are determined by the main sentence.

such as: I don't think that he can answer this question, can he? I don't think he can answer this question, can he?

Attributive Clauses:

Attributive clauses are used as attributes in a sentence to modify a noun or pronoun, and the modified noun, phrase or pronoun is the antecedent. Attributive clauses usually appear after antecedents and are led by relative words (relative pronouns or adverbs).

relative pronouns are: who who, whom, whose, that, which, etc.

Relative adverbs are: when, where, why, etc.

I like the music for the very reason that (for which) he dislikes it. I like this kind of music for some reason, but he is just the opposite of me.
