Hi There,
Could anyone please help me with the following question:
Together with concerns for economic progress, a pressing need is emerging to promote sustainable development.
What type of clause is the first one and what is is qualifying? I get confused with the differences between adverbial, adjective and noun clauses and how to identify them.
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks

Adverbials, which this is, modify a verb, an adjective, or the whole sentence. 'Together with...progress' is not a clause; it is only a prepositional phrase ('together with' being a sort of phrasal preposition or adverb-preposition combination-- and I really don't want to argue about it)-- and it is adverbially modifying the main clause ('a pressing need...development').
