Adverb Clause and Preposition


Adverb Clause
     a)      Because it was hot, we went swimming.
     b)      We went swimming because it was hot.
An adverb clause may precede or follow an independent clause.
Punctuation: a comma is used if the adverb clause comes first.
Preposition
    c)      Because of the hot weather, we went swimming.
    d)      We went swimming because of the hot weather.
A preposition is followed by a noun object, not by a subject and verb.
Punctuation: a comma is usually used if the prepositional phrase precedes the subject and verb of the independent clause.



a)      It was such good coffee that I had another cup.
b)      It was such a foggy day that we couldn’t see the road.

Such ... that encloses a modified noun :

d)      I’m so hungry that I could eat a horse.
e)      She speaks so fast that I can’t understand her.

penjelasan beserta contoh

A. Uses of Adverbs
1. with verb
The police moved quickly to stop a fight between the fans.
2. before adjectives
The Divan Hotel has reasonbly priced rooms.
3. before other adverbs
My penfriend replied to my first letter incredibly quickly.
4. before prepositional phrases
The plane shook and then went completely out of control.

B. Forming adverb
1. to form adverbs from adjectives we usually add -ly to the adjective : slow - slowly.
2. good is the only adjective with a completely irregular adverb : well.
3. two other kinds of exception to the rule are adjectives which have the same adverb form and those where there is a spelling change to form the adverb.

C. Position of adverb
1. adverbs normally go after the verb
He smokes heavily.
2. an adverb does not normally come between a verb and its direct object
He studied the book carefully (not : He studied carefully the book)
3. if two or more adverbs are used, they usually come in order : manner, place, time
The plane landed smootly right the time
Didn't the team play well away from home last weekend?

She's been studying hard at home all year
