What is a subordinate adverbial clause?
Can anyone give me some help with this? It is for a 9th grade english question. My daughter needs to find one of these in the text of a fiction book.

Grammatically, subordinate adverbial clauses function within sentences as adverbs. Just as most adjective clauses begin with a relative pronoun, adverb clauses always begin with a subordinating conjunction (after, before, unless, although, when, while, as soon as, as long as, as if, where etc) marking them as grammatically subordinate. They have subjects and verbs and sometimes objects.

As long as the murder continues to be three steps a head of the investigators, he can take as much time as he wants to find his next victim.
