I have noticed in several writings the use of a commas that precede adverbial clauses. Having read much on the subject, I am a little confused regarding this practice. I always thought that an adverbial clause, when appearing at the end of a sentence, was not preceded by a comma. There is a subtle reason for using a comma before an adverbial clause that escapes my perception, and I am hoping someone can explain its purpose.
"I know he committed suicide, because his wife told me."
I can understand its use in the above sentence, but elsewhere I am lacking understanding.
