Adverbial clause

As Adverbial ( schulgrammatisch also rate ratio ) is a subordinate clause referred to, which can be replaced a determination as adverbial phrase in a sentence or is converted into a adverbial determination. Since he can replace a phrase, he is also a subordinate clause.

Example:

  • When it was evening, the sun was setting. See: In the evening the sun went down.
  • Beate's letter was returned because the address was incomplete. See: Beate's letter came back because of incomplete address.

With some exceptions (see below) a Adverbialssatz is introduced by a subordinating conjunction and is therefore also a Konjunktionalsatz (or konjunktionaler subordinate clause ). Subordinating conjunctions are also called Subjunktionen.

As each subordinate clause is also an Adverbial part of a compound sentence, here consisting of a main clause and at least one Adverbial.

Position in the sentence structure

Adverbialsätze are made mostly before or after the main clause. Less often they are pushed in between.

If the Adverbial stands before the main clause, the subject ( the sentence subject ) of the main theorem ( activity word) occurs behind the personal form of the verb. This is called a reverse position ( inversion). This position always occurs when another member of a sentence as the subject is in the first position of the sentence. The staff form of the verb in declarative sentences has always been the second position.

  • The apartment was slowly warm again after the heater was turned on again.
  • After the heating was turned on again, the apartment was slowly warm again.

Uneingeleiteter Adverbial

One also finds subsets that are not preceded by a conjunction, but take the place of adverbials. They stand in front of the main clause. They are called uneingeleitete Adverbialsätze. Uneingeleitete subordinate clauses be included among the adverbial clauses because they (specifically in a Konjunktionalsatz ) into an Adverbial can be converted:

  • If the heater is not to be tight, the installer will come again. ( uneingeleiteter Adverbial ) Changed: When / If the heater should not be tight, the installer will come again. ( konjunktionaler subordinate clause )
  • Changed: If you have the damage, you need not to worry for the mockery. ( konjunktionaler subordinate clause )
  • See also the even shorter adverbial: In the event of a claim you need not to worry for the mockery.

Präpositionalgruppe

Adverbialsätze can also be converted to Präpositionalgruppen.

For example:

  • The team trained hard every day, before they can win the game.
  • The team trained hard for the victory.

( The meaning does not change. )

DC Parent Adverbial

With similar performance as the importance Adverbialsätze there are sibling rates that occur with adverbs ( words circumstance ) can be connected (direct order; Adverbial as the main set). Each major record series with gleichgeordnetem Adverbial can be converted into a compound sentence with main and subordinate clause; while the sibling Adverbial remains a main clause, and the other main set is the subordinate clause. Therefore, sibling Adverbialsätze are usually counted among the subordinate clauses.

  • The pipe is rusted through, so a new piece must be used. (Main block and sibling causal Adverbial ) Changed the subordinate clause: Because the pipe is rusted through, a new piece should be used. ( Subordinate clause as a causal Adverbial and law without adverbials )
