Question

I like swimming better than jogging. The bolded words are what kind of clause?

adjective clause

adverb clause

noun clause

Answer 1

it is an adverb clause, because an adverb clause is a group of words that function as an adverb. The clause can modify verbs, adverbs and adjectives by telling when, where, why, how, how much and under what condition. They begin with a subordinating conjunction (such as after, if, because and although) and they contain a subject and a predicate.
