Definition

• There are two types of clauses of contrast, concessive and adversative.


The concessive clause offers a partial contrast-it states a reservation
that does not invalidate the truth of the main clause. The adversative
clause makes a stronger contrast that may range all the way to complete
opposition.(Modern English: Marcella Frank).

• These clauses are used to make two statements, one of which


contrast with the other or make it seem surprising. They are introduced
by the subordinating conjunctions like “although, though, even
though, despite, in spite of, whereas, while, even if and
however. (www.learnesl.net)

Generally when the adverbial clause is at the end of a sentence it


does not use comma punctuation, but sometimes some writers give
comma punctuation marks after this position.
