Passage based on illustrating “when” adverbial structure in sentences

Title: A Day at the Amusement Park

One sunny day, Sarah and her friends decided to visit the amusement park. They eagerly lined up for the thrilling roller coaster. When the ride started, Sarah closed her eyes tightly. She felt a rush of excitement when the roller coaster zoomed down a steep slope. Afterward, they spotted a ferris wheel. Sarah’s heart pounded with anticipation as she climbed into one of the colorful cabins. When the ferris wheel slowly ascended, Sarah enjoyed a magnificent view of the entire park.

Next, they headed to the water slide. Sarah’s heart skipped a beat when she stood at the top, ready to slide down. When she went down the twisty slide, water splashed all around her. Sarah laughed with delight. Lastly, they visited the carousel. Sarah couldn’t resist smiling when she saw the beautifully decorated horses. When the carousel started spinning, Sarah clung tightly to her horse.

At the end of the day, Sarah and her friends left the amusement park with memories they would cherish forever. When they looked back, they realized that they had experienced an unforgettable adventure

Identification of adverbial structure in sentences

1. “One sunny day” – This adverbial phrase modifies the noun phrase “day” and provides information about when the event took place.
2. “When the ride started” – This adverbial clause introduces a specific time or condition for an action to occur.
3. “Afterward” – This adverbial adverb indicates the sequence of events, showing what happened next.
4. “When the ferris wheel slowly ascended” – This adverbial clause indicates a specific time or condition for an action to occur.
5. “Next” – This adverbial adverb indicates the temporal order of events, showing what happened after the previous action.
6. “When she went down the twisty slide” – This adverbial clause introduces a specific time or condition for an action to occur.
7. “At the end of the day” – This adverbial phrase indicates the time at which an event occurred.
8. “When they looked back” – This adverbial clause introduces a specific time or condition for an action to occur.

These adverbial structures help provide information about time, sequence, and conditions in the passage

What are adverbials?

Adverbials are words, phrases, or clauses that modify or provide additional information about the verb in a sentence. They add details about time, place, manner, frequency, degree, condition, or purpose. Adverbials can be single words (adverbs), phrases, or entire clauses.

Here are some examples of different types of adverbials:

1. Adverb: She sings beautifully. (“beautifully” modifies the verb “sings” and indicates manner)
2. Adverb phrase: He ran down the street. (“down the street” modifies the verb “ran” and indicates direction)
3. Adverb clause: I will visit you when I have time. (“when I have time” modifies the verb “will visit” and indicates a specific condition)

Adverbials can answer questions such as “how?”, “when?”, “where?”, “why?”, “to what extent?”, “under what condition?”, and “in what manner?”. They provide additional details and help to enhance the meaning of a sentence

The use and functions of “when” adverbial structure in sentences.

The “when” adverbial structure is used to introduce a specific time or condition in a sentence. It functions to provide information about the timing or circumstances of an action or event. Here are the main uses and functions of the “when” adverbial structure:

1. Time: “When” is commonly used to indicate the timing of an action in relation to another action or event. It helps establish a temporal relationship. For example:
   • I always go for a walk when the sun sets.
   • She felt tired when she arrived home.
2. Condition: “When” can introduce a condition under which an action or event takes place. It indicates that a certain situation or circumstance must be met for the action to occur. For example:
   • You can have dessert when you finish your dinner.
   • When it rains, we usually stay indoors.
3. Simultaneity: “When” can also be used to express actions or events happening simultaneously. It highlights that two or more actions occur at the same time. For example:
   • Sarah laughed when her friend told a joke.
   • The children cheered when the magician performed a trick.

In summary, the “when” adverbial structure is used to indicate time, condition, or simultaneity in sentences. It adds specificity and context to the actions or events being described. [mediator_tech]
