PLEASE HELP! Identify the Adverb Clause in the following sentence: You may not be able to get tickets if you don't buy them in advance. A) if you don’t buy them in advance B) to get tickets C) you may not be able to get tickets D) in advance

Answer 1

The answer is: A) if you don’t buy them in advance.

An adverb clause functions as an adverb, modifying an adjective, verb or another adverb. It contains a subject and a verb, and it provides information as regards how, when, where and why the action happens.

Adverb clauses are also dependent clauses because they cannot stand on its own - they do not express complete thoughts by themselves. As a result, they need to join a main clause in order to make sense. They are joined to main clauses through subordinating conjunctions, such as while, although and if.
