Last week I took a look at understanding adjectival phrases and clauses. This week I thought I should look at adverbial phrases and clauses.
On this website I was able to look at several examples of adverb phrases. Adverb phrases tell how, where, why, or when. Again, I found that I use these all the time when I am writing. I just did not realize what they were called. As a teacher, I am always asking these types of questions of my students to try and pull more out of them when they are writing. I am thinking I might be able to make some sort of chart with these questions and it would help guide my students to write with more details. Also, I think it will be very beneficial to mention this vocabulary of adverbial and adjectival phrases and clauses. I think it is always good to expose student to vocabulary. If I were told this is what I was doing when writing, I may have already felt confident with adverbial and adjectival phrases.
