Adverb Clauses
副詞節
Day 3副詞節をご案内します。副詞節は副詞の働きをする節のことです。副詞とは、名詞以外の語句（主に動詞）を修飾する働きがあり程度や様子を表します。
He runs fast. 彼は速く走ります。
この文において、fast は ran という動詞を修飾するので、副詞です。
次に節とは何でしょう？節とは「２語以上のひとまとまりで、一つの品詞の働きをするもので、その中にS（Subject:主語）とV（Verb:動詞）を含む」ものをいいます。
I’ll stay home, if it rains tomorrow.
“if it rains tomorrow”は stayという動詞を修飾し、S+Vを含む副詞節です。
“if”は「もし雨がふれば」という条件を導く接続詞（従属接続詞）で、主節（中心となる節、ここでは、I’ll stay home）と「従属節」（副詞節）を結びます。
従属接続詞は時・条件・理由・譲歩を表す副詞節（主節を修飾する節）や名詞の働きをする名詞節（主節の動詞の目的語になる節、Day4参照）があります。
① 時を表す接続詞
「～するとき」‥when ‥「～する前に」‥before
「～したあとに」‥after 「～する間に」‥while 「～するまでに」… till / until
