Grammar
Subordinate clauses
I'm Norwegian, but I study English grammar at University. Now Im prepairing for my exam by looking at exam questions. I understand the concept about subordinate clauses, how to identify them etc, but what Im not sure about is the terms that are being used in these questions. A lot of the questions says that I have to specify the structure, form and syntactic function of the subordinate clauses. What exactly does this mean? I really appriciate all the help I can get!

e. as a relative clause, an adverbial or adjectival clause, sentence subject, etc). I don't see any clear difference between form and structure.

Anonymoushe structure, form and syntactic function of the subordinate clausesI suppose it means the sort of clause (fiinite, nonfinite, verbless, etc) and its use in the sentence (i.e. as a relative clause, an adverbial or adjectival clause, sentence subject, etc). I don't see any clear difference between form and structure.
