    REDUCED ADVERB CLAUSE


    Adverb clauses can appear in a reduced form. In the reduced form, the adverb connector remains,
    but the subject and be-verb are omitted.
    Examples:
    although he is rather unwell, the speaker will take a part in the seminar.

    When you are ready, you can begin your speech.

    feeling
    Although you feel rather sick, you attend the class.

    giving
    When you give your speech, you should speak loudly and distinctly.

    Once it is submitted, your thesis will be reviewed. (passive predicate)

    Now take a look at your copied book, Lesson 15 page 94-98, you will find the following:

    1. A clause maker/connector can be replaced by a preposition


    2. A clause maker /connector followed by a clause (S P O ....)
    3. A preposition followed by a word or a phrase

    Here is the table

    PREPOSITION CLAUSE MAKER/CONNECTOR


    Because of Because, since
    Due to Because, since
    On account of Because, since
    In spite of Although
    Despite Although
    during When, while

    Conclusion:
    Reducing adverb clauses is diiferent from reducing adjective clause. To reduce an adjective
    clause, the clause maker, subject and be- verb are omitted. Meanwhile, in reducing adverb clause,
    the clause maker is not reduced.
