![Page 3: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
FANBOYSare different from
adverbial expressions = subordinating conjunctions
= subordinators
![Page 4: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Two different grammatical categories of words.They have different grammar rules and
punctuation.

Conjunctions = FANBOYS 1) Combine two complete
sentences2) Comma before the
conjunction

I’ve studied this, but I still don’t understand it very well.
BART keeps threatening to go on strike, but they
haven’t yet.
![Page 7: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
It was noisy outside, so we closed the door.
Are you going to grade this draft of our paper, or can we
do another draft?

Two sentences combined with a FANBOYS is a compound sentence.
![Page 9: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There are only seven FANBOYS, but there are
many, many subordinators =
subordinating conjunctions=adverbial expressions
![Page 10: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Here are some examples:because, even though, if, since, although, unless,
whereas, only if, when …
![Page 11: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
We use a subordinator to begin an adverb clause.
Some teachers call this a subordinate clause.
![Page 12: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Two sentences combined with a subordinator is called
a complex sentence.
![Page 13: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Examples:I studied hard because I wanted to
get an “A.”
You should always go to bed when you are tired.
I can’t sleep although I am tired.
Notice that there are no commas.
![Page 14: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
BUT you can move the adverb clause:Because I wanted to get an “A,”
I studied hard.
When you are tired, you should always go to bed.
Although I am tired, I can’t sleep.
Notice that there are COMMAS when the adverb clause is first.
![Page 15: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
UNTIL can be a subordinator OR a preposition:
All the quizzes in Moodle will be open until we take the the midterm exam.
(subordinator combines two sentences to make complex sentence.)
All the quizzes in Moodle will be open until the midterm exam.
(Now, “until” is a preposition followed by a noun.)
![Page 16: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SINCE can be a subordinator OR a preposition:
I have known how to read since elementary school. (preposition)
I have known how to read since I was four. (subordinator)
![Page 17: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Notice that subordinator since has two different meanings:
I have known how to read since I was four. (Time beginning in the past and
continuing in the presents)
I stayed up late since I wanted to find out if BART would be on strike today.
(because)

Unless is tricky:
Unless the tickets cost too much, we’ll go to the game next Saturday.
A sentence with unless can also be said with if by changing the main clause
affirmative negative
If the tickets cost too much, we won’t go to the game next Saturday.
![Page 19: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Unless is tricky:
Unless I have no money, I will go to China next year. =
If I have no money, I won’t go to China next year. =
I have money, I will go to China next year.
![Page 20: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More examples with unless:
It is a subordinator that combines two complete sentences to make a complex
sentence.
I will not pass the quiz unless I study hard. = Unless I study hard, I won’t pass
the quiz.
I will not miss a class unless I have a good reason.

There is a THIRD category of connecting words called LOGICAL CONNECTORS
or SENTENCE CONNECTORS.
There are, many, many of them.
Most of them are used more in formal writing than in conversation.
![Page 22: Problems with adverb clauses](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081505/55651becd8b42a1a1d8b53e1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

LOGICAL CONNECTORS begin a sentence, and show a logical connection
with the sentence that came before it.

Notice that in many cases, you use the present tense in an adverb clause, even though you are talking about something
in the future.
