Dependent clauses include noun clauses, which function as nouns, adjective clauses, which function as adjectives, and adverb clauses, which function as adverbs and modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverb clauses indicate time, cause and effect, contrast, condition, or intensity. Common subordinating conjunctions used in adverb clauses include when, because, although, if, and unless.
