Hello, learners!

This video will help you understand what a reduced adverb clause is, and how to reduce an adverb clause to an adverbial/adverb phrase.

What is a reduced adverb clause?

A reduced adverb clause is a more precise and accurate form of an adverb clause. It is formed out of an adverb clause by removing some parts that are extra or unnecessary. We can reduce an adverb clause to an adverb phrase only when the subject of both the main clause and the adverb clause are the same.

Examples of reduced adverb clauses:

While I was going to work, I saw something unusual. (Adverb clause)
While going to work, I saw something unusual. (Reduced adverb clause)

After I finish the work, I’ll join you guys. (Adverb clause)
After finishing the work, I’ll join you guys. (Reduced adverb clause)

We are definitely going to start our business after we leave this job. (Adverb clause)
We are definitely going to start our business after leaving this job. (Reduced adverb clause)

Since I was taking my class, I couldn’t pick up your phone. (Adverb clause)
Taking my class, I couldn’t pick up your phone. (Reduced adverb clause)
or
Because of taking my class, I couldn’t pick up your phone. (Reduced adverb clause)
Though he was super busy, he came out to see me. (Adverb clause)

Though being super busy, he came out to see me. (Reduced adverb clause)
Because I’m the head trainer, I have to take responsibilities for all the complaints. (Adverb clause)

Brilliant as always, Ashish! Just one point I'd like some clarification on. In the sentence "He sliced his fingers while he was chopping vegetables.", is it correct to reduce it to "He sliced his fingers while chopping vegetables" without placing the phrase "while chopping vegetables" at the beginning of the sentence like you did? And is it the same with the sentence "I started training after being challenged by Ron."?

By keeping the conjunction, would it not be a superfluous use of words?

thank u so much ashish ! I have seen in a grammar book that: we can remove the time conjuncions as well. For example: 1.While she was driving to paris, my best friend had an accident.--- Driving to Paris, my best friends had an accident. 2. After she reloaded the program into her computer, she realized that the screen was gone.--- Having reloaded he program into her computer, she realized that the screen was gone.
I am confused. I don't know which one is true. What do you think about it ?🙂
