Adverb clauses can express the ideas of time and cause, adverb clauses can also express a number of other ideas, such as contrast, condition, manner, and place.

In each of these examples, there are two clauses that are correctly joined with adverb conectors. In the first sentence the adverb condition connector if comes in the middle of the sentence. In the second sentence the adverb contrast connector although comes at the beginning of the sentence, and a comma (,) is used in the middle of the sentence.
