Hi,
I have been looking closely at grammar rules for the past few weeks and stumbled upon something which I can't seem to understand.
In the following Magoosh post, it is mentioned that
"Subordinate conjunctions are words that begin a common category of subordinate clauses. All of these clauses function as adverbial clauses, that is, as verb modifiers."
ON A WHITE BUS -
T - Though
magoosh[dot]com/gmat/verbal/grammar/gmat-grammar-subordinate-conjunctions/
I read one of the example sentences in the same blog post:
"Though polite and refined in person, Boris Karloff was known for playing monsters on screen."
However, it looks like to me that in the above example sentence "though" beginning subordinate clause seems to be modifying the noun - Boris Karloff.
Shouldn't "though" being a subordinating conjunction beginning a subordinate clause be playing a role of verb modifier in this sentence? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Thanks!
