Review: Adverbs tell us more about about the verb in the main clause. The verb can be described using a single adverb, an adverb phrase or an adverb clause. The adverb tells us more about how the action is performed:
How? When? Where? Why? How frequently?
He ran quickly.
He ran this morning.
He ran in the park.
He ran because he wanted to lose weight.
He ran everyday during the summer.
Remember adverb clauses begin with conjunctions.

The doctor is working very late because there are lots of people waiting to see her.
