This week, before you start learning about adverb clauses, you鈥檒l write a paragraph. Why? Because at the end of the course, you鈥檙e going to compare what you can write now with what you鈥檒l be able to write then--after you鈥檝e learned about adverb clauses. After writing, you鈥檒l start learning new lessons. You鈥檒l learn how to identify adverb clauses, to create sentences with them, and to punctuate them correctly with commas. For each lesson, you鈥檒l learn from some videos, practice exercises on your own, and take a quiz to check your understanding. Are you ready? There鈥檚 a lot to learn, so let鈥檚 get started!

At each step, you鈥檒l practice on your own, check your answers, and complete quizzes to test your knowledge. Finally, you鈥檒l apply what you learned by writing complex sentences with adverb clauses. We鈥檒l go step-by-step so that you can feel confident using new adverb clauses. Let鈥檚 get started!

This week, we鈥檒l continue in our exploration of the meaning and use of adverb clauses. First, we鈥檒l learn about clauses of condition, which are very common in the everyday language of fluent English speakers. After conditional clauses, you鈥檒l learn about common mistakes with adverb clauses, and this knowledge will help you to check and edit your own writing when you write conditional sentences in a discussion post. By the end of this week, you鈥檒l have learned what you need to know in order to successfully write with adjective clauses in the last part of the course. Good luck!

This week, we鈥檒l focus more on writing. First, you鈥檒l learn about writing with a variety of sentence structures. Then, you鈥檒l write a paragraph about your routine--again! You did this in Week 1, but now, you鈥檙e going to show off everything you鈥檝e learned about sentence types and adverb clauses. After writing, you鈥檒l compare this week鈥檚 writing with Week 1鈥檚 writing, and you鈥檒l be able to see how much more advanced your writing is now--thanks to adverb clauses. Finally, you鈥檒l finish by evaluating another learner鈥檚 use of adverb clauses. You鈥檝e worked hard, and now鈥檚 the time to see the results of your effort. Congratulations!
