20. ఈ క్రింద italics లో చూపించిన group of words ను పరిశీలించండి :-

1. They rested at sunset. [Rested when?]
2. They rested when evening came. [Rested when ?]

పై రెండు వాక్యములలో ‘when’ అను పదములు Adverbs అయి ఉన్నవి. అవి కాలమును తెలియజేయుచున్నవి గావున అవి ‘rested’ అను verb పదమును అజమాయిషీ (modify) చేయుచున్నవి. ఎప్పుడు ‘rest తీసుకున్నాడు అని వివరిస్తున్నది కదా! అనగా ఆ particular పని ఏ సమయములో జరిగిందీ అని చెప్పుచున్నవి.

‘at sunset’ అను పదసముదాయము Adverb Phrase అని మనకు తెలుసును. రెండవ వాక్యములో నున్న ‘when evening came’ అను పదసముదాయమును కూడా Adverb Phrase క్రింద జమ కట్టవచ్చునా? జమకట్టడానికి వీలుకాదు. ఇది Phrase కాదు. ఎందుకంటే ఆ రెండు words లో నామవాచకమైన ‘evening’ అను పదము ఇచ్చట Noun అయి ఉన్నది.

‘evening’ అను పదము తాను వచ్చియున్నను అనే భావపూరితమైన action ను చూపించుచున్నది కదా. దానికి తోడుగా Predicate భాగమైన ‘came’ అచ్చట ఉన్నది కూడా. కావున ఈ 3 పదములను (when evening came) ఒక వాక్యము క్రింద జమ కట్టవచ్చును. కాని, ఇచ్చట ఇవి పెద్ద వాక్యములో భాగమై ఉన్నవి.
