English lesson (31st Jan)

On that day, i learnt about adverbial phrases and clauses, including the differences between the two.
But we mainly focused on Clauses. We did quite an interesting activity on that day. We formed groups and were asked to write advice (supposedly to other students) by forming clauses using conjunctions that were provided on the worksheet that was given to us by Mr Sim. Every group came up with crap advices...hahaha...so funny... Unfortunately, i also saw some sick advices made by other classes. What are they thinking???

Anyway, these are some of the main points i learnt:

An adverbial phrase is a group of words that performs the function of an adverb. It modifies a verb, adjective or another adverb by answering the how, when and where questions. Like all phrases, it cannot stand alone.
Eg.

Ethan completed the race like a champion. (how)
It was lucky Susan arrived home after the storm broke. (when)
Unfortunately, the bandit vanished into a maze of warehouses. (where)

An adverbial clause is the same as an adverbial phrase except that it contains a finite verb. Like all clauses, it must have a subject and a predicate.
Eg.

Jade dances like she has never danced before. (how)
Just as Penny passed a note to Pip, Mrs Petunia walked by. (when)
There's an embarrassing rip in my jeans where you can see my underwear. (where)
