An introductory clause will usually be preceded by an introductory word. Some examples of these words include before, after, though, during, when, and while. It introduces the main phrase and tells us more about it or puts it into context.
Examples.
While I was at work, my daughter was at school.
Before I moved to France I lived in England.
If you are ill
