This paper deals with communication verbs ask, say, and tell as verbals within adverbial clauses. Adverbial clauses acting as modifiers specify circumstances such as time, frequency, manner, degree, place, reason, cause, condition and so on. The aim of this paper is to analyze the frequency of above-mentioned verbs in different types of adverbial clauses, present similarities and dissimilarities in the specific adverbial clauses, and describe the specific features related to each verb. This paper will also determine certain features of the selected verbs as well as their practical use and distribution in spoken and written corpus of English.Taking into account that this type of subordinate clause is not extensively examined, we consider that this paper will give asignificant contribution to research of adverbial clauses in the English language.
