Ancient peoples often saw designs in the stars, called constellations. –Modifying an adjective – I was very glad school was starting. –Modifying other adverbs – The boy moved very quickly from the room.

Introductory Adverbs Introductory adverbs are individual adverbs or adverb clauses at the beginning of a sentence.

What is a clause? A clause is a group of words with its own subject and predicate. There are two types of clauses –Independent – can stand by itself in a complete sentence. Ex. The boy went to the park.

What is a clause? (p.2) –Subordinate/Dependent clauses – cannot stand by itself as a complete sentence. Ex. Because he woke up late, he missed his flight.

Adverb Clauses Adverb clauses are dependent clauses that modify (describe) a verb, an adjective, another adverb. All adverb clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions. They answer the following questions: –Where?, When?, In what way?, To what extent?, Under what condition, Why?

Most commonly used subordinating conjunctions aftereven thoughunless althoughifuntil asin order thatwhen as ifsincewhenever as long asso thatwhere becausethanwherever beforethoughwhile

Here is the formula!! subordinating conjunction +clause + comma + clause –Because I was absent yesterday, I missed the assignment.

More Examples 1. Wherever they need to go, Vai people carry their possessions on their head. (Where?) 2. I will help you with your English whenever you ask. (When?) 3. Jamie wanted to stay because the band was good. (Why?)

Individual Adverbs Adding an individual adverb to the beginning of a sentence is easy!! –Think of a adverb (usually a word that ends in (“ly”) –Put the word at the beginning of your sentence and set it off with a comma! –Put the word at the beginning of your sentence and set it off with a comma! –IMPORTANT!! – DON’T FORGET THE COMMA!! Examples: –Carefully, the boy lifted the kitten out of the box. –Yesterday, I passed Mrs. Welty's test with flying colors. –Clearly, he had run the race well.

DON’T FORGET YOUR COMMA!!!!
