Starting dependent adjectival clauses
Who, which, whom, whose or that - these relative pronouns usually start dependent adjectival clauses which describe a person, place or thing. The clause depends on the main clause - it doesn’t make sense on its own as a statement.
Examples: I like the woodturner who makes bowls so skillfully.I found the old house which stood beside the river.I was so terrified that I never swam again [describing the
adjective terrified]

Starting dependent adverbial clauses
Conjunctions like because, when, after, if, so, until, before start adverbial clauses describing how, why, when, where something happened
Example: Because you have been so mean to me, I feel very angry.Until you apologise, I won’t be able to forgive you.I could finally relax after they had all gone home.

1. Ask for more detail: How? When? Where? Why? What did it/they look
like? What did they sound like? The extra detail must contain a verb!!!
2. Sentence building - complete the sentence below to give more detail: I ran there quickly because I often shop there although
