Some examples that adverb clause begins with the subordinator 'where'? #1 (permalink) Sat Jan 13, 2007 3:52 am   Some examples that adverb clause begins with the subordinator 'where'?
 

Hi teachers,

Please see the following:

I don't know where she lives
where she lives is a noun clause functioning as an object of the verb "know".

1/ Can I say where she lives is an adverb clause completing the meaning of the verb "konw"?

Could you give me some examples that adverb clause begins with the subordinator "where"?

Thanks in advance

Hi Jupiter,

where she lives is an object clause. It's connected with the principal clause by means of the conjunctive adverb 'where'

Nope. It's an object clause

Ex. I like to spend my leave where I can shoot
Ex. He went where the doctor sent him

Both are the adverbial clauses of place :)

There are seven important main types of Adverb clauses:
1) Adverb Clauses odf reasons ( they answer the question "why" )
because , since , due to the fact that , on account of the fact that.

2) Adverb clauses of contrast ( They contrast theidea expressed in the the independent clause )
although , though , even though , despite the fact that , inspite of the fact that.

3) Adverb clauses of condidtion ( they answer the question "Under what conditions")
if , unless , in case , provided that.

4) Adverb clauses of time ( they answer the question " when")
when , while , as ,whenever , after , as soon as , once, bfore , after.

5) Adverb cluases of place ( they asnwer the question " where ")

6) Adverb clauses of comparison
than, as much as , as many as.

7) Adverb clauses of results
so + adjective + that
such + noun + that

Note: - A clause : subject + verb
- A phrase : a group of words grmmatically related without a subject and a verb.
- A sentence contains a subject and a predicate.
- A sentence contains only one clause (an independent clause ) or two cluases one is a main clause (independent) and the other is ( dependent )
- A subject is either a noun or a pronoun.
- A predicate tells something about the subject.
- A predicate " verb + object + complement "
- An adverb clause is a dependent clause.
- A noun clause is a dependent clause.
