Remember what you learned on the first page of this packet about the difference between a clause and a phrase. A. An adjective clause is a dependent clause which modifies a noun or a pronoun in the independent clause. B. An adverb clause is a dependent clause which modifies a verb, adjective , or adverb in the independent clause.
Every adverb clause is introduced by a subordinate conjunction .
You have already learned the subordinate conjunctions in 4 of this packet. C. A noun clause is used just as a noun would be used. A noun clause can be used as a subject , direct object , object of a preposition , predicate noun , indirect object , or an appositive . Noun clauses may be introduced by some of the same words which introduce adverb clauses. When the words such as when or where introduce a noun clause, they are not considered as subordinate conjunctions but are used merely as adverbs within the noun clause.
