<span>QUESTION 1: <span>An
adverb clause will always contain a subject, a verb, and a subordinating
conjunction. </span></span>
<span>
</span>
<span>Things can
sometimes get a little bit confusing for students because, like an independent
clause, the adverb clause (which is a dependent clause) will contain a subject
and a verb. The way to distinguish
adverb clause from independent clause is that the adverb clause will always be
the clause that begins with the subordinating conjunction. The independent clause will never begin with
one. Additionally, the adverb clause
will be the clause that addresses when something is done, how something is
done, where something is, or why something is done. That said, I have bolded the adverb clauses
for each of the questions below.</span>

QUESTION 3: Jojo's three dogs bolted
from the driveway <span>once they saw her car
turn the corner.

(NOTE: When an adverb clause begins a sentence, it will always be followed by a comma.)
