 FACEBOOK

Among all teh similar things, Facebook is good for keeping in touch with people you can't meet regularly. It help me to stay in touch with what's going on in my friends' lives, especially the ones who live far away. As for connecting with people that i meet regularly. Facebook is usefull for sharing the things that i come across on the internet, like news, video, website links or for sharing crappy funny stuff with my friends.
For me personally, I use facebook mainly for pictures. I think it's great way to see what's going on with our friends through pictures.
Regulation on this kind of networking is always problematic. As for age limit, i don't think it's sorely the problem of social networking sites. Kids can see some ridiculously violent stuff, porn, or whatever junk there is in the internet. However, i think there are a couple of other less formally enacted ( or even unwritten ) rules that people break. For example: i see Facebook as a way for me to connect with MY FRIENDS, not random people who added me on their facebook. It's so annoying that people just add other people that they vaguely know, or people to advertise some stuff.

Theory or Definition of Adverbial Clauses

Theory or Definition of Adverbial Clauses

An adverbial clause is a clause that functions as an adverb. In other words, it contains subject (explicit or implied) and predicate, and it modifies a verb.

According to Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk, adverbial clauses function mainly as adjuncts or disjuncts. In those functions they are like adverbial phrases, but in their potentiality for greater explicitness, they are more often like prepositional phrases (Greenbaum and Quirk,1990):

The Forms and Functions of Clauses in English
Adverb Clauses

The following article explains the forms and functions of clauses in English grammar that students must learn.


Each grammatical form of clause in English performs distinct grammatical functions. The following sections explain the forms and functions of clauses that both native speakers and ESL students must learn to fully and correctly construct sentences in English.

Adverb Clauses
Adverb clauses are defined as subordinate clauses formed by a subordinating conjunction followed by a clause. Some of the more common subordinating conjunctions in English that introduce adverb clauses include:
• after
• although
• because
• before
• even though
• if
• once
• since
• so that
• though
• unless
• until
• when
• whereas
• while
For example, the following are examples of adverb clauses:
• After she gave the baby a bath, she decided to take a nap.
• The girl cannot usually eat beef stew because she is allergic to carrots.
• The couple has been saving money so that they can go on a vacation.
All adverb clauses perform the grammatical function of adverbial. Adverbials are defined as words and phrases that modify an entire clause by providing additional information about concession, condition, manner, place, purpose, reason, result, and time.

Adverbial clause

Adverbial clause

An adverbial clause is a clause that functions as an adverb. In other words, it contains subject (explicit or implied) and predicate, and it modifies a verb.

• I saw Joe when I went to the store. (explicit subject I)
• He sat quietly in order to appear polite. (implied subject he)

According to Sidney Greenbaum and Randolph Quirk, adverbial clauses function mainly as adjuncts or disjuncts. In those functions they are like adverbial phrases, but in their potentiality for greater explicitness, they are more often like prepositional phrases (Greenbaum and Quirk,1990):

• We left after the speeches ended. (Is it an adverbial clause, adverbial phrase or preposition phrase?)
• We left after the end of the speeches.(Is it an adverbial clause, adverbial phrase or preposition phrase?)

Contrast adverbial clauses with adverbial phrases, which do not contain a clause.

• I like to fly kites for fun.
