Practice: The Subjunctive in Adverbial Clauses

For each sentence, if it were to be translated into good Spanish, determine:

1. If it contains a adverbial phrase or an adverbial clause or no-such-beast [if no-such-beast, go on to the next sentence]
2. If an adverbial preposition or adverbial conjunction should be used
3. If the action in the adverbial clause is anticipated/hypothetical or viewed as finished/customary
4. If the subjunctive or indicative or infinitive is needed.
