ADVANCED LESSON PART 2: How to Reduce the Adverb Clause

In today’s video we’ll continue with our lesson on Reduced Adverb or Adverbial Clauses. This is an advanced lesson so students will need to be familiar with the present and past participle as well as the perfect aspect of verbs.
This lesson is the second part of two videos. This lesson will cover 1) reducing the adverb clause in the passive voice, 2) reducing adverb clauses with linking verbs, 3) reduced clauses to different parts of speech, 4) changing the reduced adverb clause to its original construction.
Examples are given.

Hi Lulu!": Because your lesson was good for advanced writing, I believe academic writing students could be benefitted by this lesson. Thanks & regards.

You're an amazing teacher!! Thank you so much, I was straggling with that topic many days, and now I feel that I understand much better, only I need to practice more and more.

Glad it was helpful!

Hello, Thanks for your amazing explanation. I have a question. After Ethan was hit by a car, he needed to go on crutches. Reduction: After hit by a car, Ethan needed to go on crutches. Is it possible.

Really excellent lesson. Top-notch. You showed a variety of ways to reduce adverb clauses, not just one way.

[@thelearningdepot]

Thank you, Saeid. Glad you liked the lesson. I appreciate your kind words. 😊

Great lesson! I'll watch it a couple more times before I take the quiz!

[@Saha9800]

I watched this lesson again, and since you would like to show different options available for the sake of sentence variety, I was wondering if it's possible, like adverb clauses, to move reduced adverb clauses to different parts of a sentence (after the subject and at the end). When is it possible to move participial clauses and when is it not? Maybe you can do a separate video on these additional options too because they can greatly contribute to sentence variety.

Thank you

having been enforced by the teacher , do this sentence happen after the other ? Why did past perfect in term of passive voice use as a second event

[@thelearningdepot]

I'm not sure I understand your questions, but often the reduced clause is in the passive voice.

[@muhammad-iffanmadthing4622]

@@thelearningdepot i mean past perfect (passive voice) = having been V3. As i was studying, past perfect will be used for the situation that happened in the past before another situation using past simple. The example = Before having been enforced by the teacher, the rules were posted on the bulletin board. The clause, before having been enforced, you can see the word before + the clause = happened after the clause. I just was wondering if (having been V3) shouldn't place after the word before. It should be past simple?

[@williamssharon3908]

On changing the reduced adverb clause back to its original form, I wrote (Before the rules were enforced by the teacher, they were posted on the bulletin board.) Is this construction correct?

[@thelearningdepot]

Yes, that works!

[@williamssharon3908]

In the sentence, (Since the rules were known to the students, they were followed without incident.) Instead of using 'to the students', could I have substituted by instead of to?

[@thelearningdepot]

Yes, that's another way to say it.
