Show transcript
The position of an adverbial subordinate clause can move in an adverbial complex sentence.
If the adverbial clause comes first in the sentence, it is followed by a comma to demarcate from the main clause.
If the main clause comes first in the sentence, there is no comma used.
A comma is a punctuation mark that has more than one purpose.
Commas often help the reader see clause demarcation in a range of sentence types.
