Mr. P. starts this lesson by describing the main and subordinating clauses. He then talks about conjunctions and lists some examples. Finally, he delves into subordinate clauses.
Three main kinds of subordinate clauses exist adverbial clauses, relative clauses and reported clauses. In this lesson, Marc discusses "adverbial clauses," more precisely, "Time Clauses." These are used to establish when something happens by indicating a period or another event (after, when, while, etc.). The most common is "when"; however, you could replace it with "the next time, long before, or the last time."

This lesson is intended for intermediate students who wish to improve their English grammar and those above levels who wish to clarify doubts about this topic.
