Hello.
What is the difference between adverbial clause and a participle clause?
The first sentence is a participle clause and the second one is an adverbial clause. Am I right?
1. They decided to postpone the project, having failed to collect funding. (participle clause?)
2. Not being able to collect resources, they decided to postpone the project. (Adverbial clause?)
What is the difference between them and why are they called "adverbial" and "participle" clause?
Is this a participle clause or an adverb clause?
Before eating dinner, you should wash your hands.
My own guess is that it is a participle clause, but since it also modifies the time of washing the hands, it can be a adverb clause as well.
Also, is there a difference between "adverb clause" and "adverbial clause"?
