Choose the correct option to complete the given sentence with an Adverbial Clause of Place.
He led the Caravan _________.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → wherever he wanted to go.
An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
Complete sentence: He led the Caravan wherever he wanted to go. "Wherever he wanted to go" tells where he led the caravan.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) wherever he wanted to go. (answer) | An adverbial clause does the work of an adverb: it tells when, where, why or how the action of the main verb happens. An adverbial clause of place answers "Where?" and begins with where or wherever. | The dog follows him wherever he goes. |
| (2) when he wanted to go. | "When" begins an adverbial clause of time. It tells when, not where. | We left when the rain stopped. |
| (3) why he wanted to go. | "Why he wanted to go" is a noun clause (the object of a verb such as "know" or "ask"), not an adverbial clause. | Nobody knew why he wanted to go. |
| (4) because he wanted to go. | "Because" begins an adverbial clause of reason. It tells why, not where. | She stayed at home because she was ill. |
