20 Examples of Adverbial Complement

Adverbial Complement

The complementary adverbs are those adverbs that clarify something. In certain cases this clarification is necessary to make sense of the sentence, and in other cases it is an accessory clarification. For example: Tomorrow Saturday We will travel first thing in the morning.

Adverbial complements can be different types of adverbs, although the time adverbs (yesterday now) and of place (here, there) for clarification. Less frequent will be in adjectives that have a complete meaning by themselves, such as those of affirmation (Yes), denial (no, no) or doubt.

The most common syntactic function of adverbs is to be nuclei of circumstantial complements. Complementary adverbs have the particularity of being part of those same complements.

The syntactic function of the term that accompanies the adverb itself varies depending on the case, but in general it is treated as a separate expression, in the same way as the apposition in the subject (even, like apposition, it is common for the adverbial complement to be expressed between explanatory commas).
