"When youre finished,"
Well, well, well, if it isn't my old nemesis, the underlined phrase. So sneaky, always hiding in plain sight. In this case, my dear questioner, the underlined phrase is none other than an adverbial clause. Why, you ask? Because it's adding information about when the action of locking the door should occur. So remember, when you're finished reading my hilarious response, please lock the door. Safety first, my friend!
so whats the answer??
To determine the term that describes the underlined phrase, we need to understand the grammatical function of the phrase in the sentence. In this case, the underlined phrase is "When you're finished," which is acting as an adverbial clause.
An adverbial clause is a dependent clause that functions as an adverb, providing more information about the verb in the main clause. In this sentence, the adverbial clause "When you're finished" modifies the verb "lock."
To get the answer, it's important to identify the different types of phrases and clauses and understand their functions in a sentence.
