Question

Choose whether the following statement is True or False:
The underlined words in the following sentence form an adverb clause.
We will sign the deal this evening.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

An adverb clause is a group of words containing a subject and a verb, and it functions as an adverb, by modifying an adjective, verb or an adverb. Adverb clauses generally begin with a subordinate conjunction (since, because, while, etc.).
The underlined words form an adverbial phrase that refers to time, "this evening", it has no subject or verb. Hence it is not a clause, let alone an adverb clause.
Hence, option B is correct and A is incorrect.
