Adverb Phrase Types and meanings
PUNCTUATION:
When an adverb clause precedes a main clause, as in (1), a
comma is used to separate the clauses.
When the adverb clause follows, as in (2), no comma is used

several times.
a. return c. am returning
b. Will have returned d. Have returned
4. Adverb of cause and effect
SANDY EKA KURNIAWAN
Adverb of cause and effect
If you are unsure as to what this is, well actually, it is not that difficult. The
most common adverb of cause and effect that is used is “because”. We use
the word “because” or other adverbs of cause and effect to explain the
reason for what happens in the main clause
Since + clause
When since is used to mean “because”, it expresses a known cause; it means “because it is a fact
that” or “given that it is true that”. Cause –and- effect sentences with since say, “given the fact that
X is true, Y is the result “. In : “given the fact that Monday is holiday, we don’t have to go to work.
Now that + clause
▫ Now that i,ve finished the semester, i’m going to rest a few days and then take a trip.
Now that means “because now”. In : Now that i’ve finished the semester means “because the semester is
now over”. Now that is used for present causes of present or future situations.
Because + Clause
(c) While John is poor, Mary is rich Examples (a), (b), (c), and (d) all have the same meaning
Note the use of the comma in (a) and (b): in using while for direct
(d) While Mary is rich, John is poor
contrast, a comma is often used even if the while-clause comes
second (unlike the punctuation of most other adverb clause)
COMPARE : REMINDER : While also used in time clauses and means “during
(e) The phone rang while i was studying that time,” as in (e).
*whereas can have the same meaning and use as while, but it occurs mostly in formal written english and occurs
with considerably less frequency than while: Marry is rich, whereas John is poor.
Exercise
When an if-clause refers to the idea in the sentence immediately before it, it
is sometimes shortened
• If you are free this weekend, i will invite you to join at my party.

Whether or not

atters. The result will be the same

Sentences with even if are close in meaning to those with whether or not.

hange.

(should) need to reach me.
