An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an
adverb. There are different types of adverbial clauses.
• An adverbial clause of manner explains how something is done.
It uses subordinating conjunctions such as as, as if, and like.
Example: He's acting as if he were my father.
Note: We use the subjunctive were with all pronouns after as if.
• An adverbial clause of result indicates the result of an action or
a situation. It often uses subordinating conjunctions such as
so ... that and such ... that.
