Hi,

It is a learning process, however painful it might be.

Thanks.

big dream I think the clause above is an adverbial clause conveying concession. I’m sure that some grammar books would call it an adverbial clause of concession , but I don’t see the practicality in using such overblown terminology; I’d just call it an adverbial clause. Yes, the punctuation is correct.
