Last time we reviewed Adverb Clause, and one of you asked me about subordinate conjunctions for Adverb Clause of Contrast...specifically the difference between Concessive and Adversative.
Well, the answer is:
A concessive adverbial clause of contrast shows unexpected result.
An adversative adverbial clause of contrast shows direct opposition.
Examples [ some are from the TP-2 book that you have] :
Concessive
Even though it was cold outside, the little boy walked around with out a coat on.
[ it was cold outside, so the little boy walking around with out a coat is something unexpected ]
Although I'm only a small animal, I also want to do my share in conserving our environment, let's not litter !
Adversative
While she was dissatisfied with the ending of the movie, she still enjoyed the performance thoroughly.
[ "dissatisfied" and "enjoyed" are direct opposition ]
I hope the explanation above answers your question about Concessive and Adversative Adverb Clause of Contrast.
While our parents are enemies, the two of us are great friends :)
There was also a question about the If-clause.....well..I don't have enough time to discuss it here...and we won't have time in class ....so, here are two links for you to click on and read. I hope they will help you to remember about If-clauses :)
