Adverbs
Can you give me a sample of a subordiate adverbial clause? Thanks.

When the windstorm hit, the lights went out. / A S P /SC / S / P / So, the clause 'when the windstorm hit' is first of all an adverbial of time. Second, it is subordinate because, on its own, it doesn't make any sense.
- When the windstorm hit, the lights went out.
- / A S P /SC / S / P / So, the clause 'when the windstorm hit' is first of all an adverbial of time.
- Second, it is subordinate because, on its own, it doesn't make any sense.
- Lastly, it's a clause because we have a predicate and subject, respectively 'hit' and 'the windstorm' Could any of the moderators/teachers confirm this is correct?
