Hello, learners!

This video will help you understand what a reduced adverb clause is, and how to reduce an adverb clause to an adverbial/adverb phrase.

What is a reduced adverb clause?

A reduced adverb clause is a more precise and accurate form of an adverb clause. It is formed out of an adverb clause by removing some parts that are extra or unnecessary. We can reduce an adverb clause to an adverb phrase only when the subject of both the main clause and the adverb clause are the same.

Examples of reduced adverb clauses:

While I was going to work, I saw something unusual. (Adverb clause)
While going to work, I saw something unusual. (Reduced adverb clause)

After I finish the work, I’ll join you guys. (Adverb clause)
