So, then, what’s the difference between an adverb and an adverbial? This is where we need to distinguish
between word classes, on the one hand, and sentence elements, on the other. We’ve already established that
there are eight word classes, of which adverbs are just one. Word classes describe grammatical function at the
level of individual words. Sentence elements, however, distinguish between the different syntactic functions of
different parts of the sentence, as in subject, object, complement, verb, and  adverbial.

The subject, for example, functions as the agent of the action or state encoded in the verb element of the
sentence. And the adverbial typically provides circumstantial information, such as the time, place, or manner, of
the situation encoded in the verb. These elements may be realised by individual words, or clumps of words
(phrases), or whole clauses.

Adverbials can take the form of adverbs, as in She ate heartily. Or of adverb phrases, as in She ate very
heartily. But adverbials can also be realised by other word classes and phrase types. For example:

noun phrases (e.g. she ate last night)

prepositional phrases (e.g. she ate in her room)

finite clauses (e.g. she ate although she wasn't hungry)

non-finite clauses (e.g. being a bit peckish, she ate)

It is in this last category – non-finite clauses – that we find –ing forms fulfilling an adverbial function. This is
often the case with so-called comment clauses, as in Strictly speaking, a dolphin is a mammal. But it is also
common with verbs that are 'concerned with beginning, ending, or spending time in a particular way' (Collins
COBUILD Grammar Patterns: 1. Verbs, 1996), such as start off, end up, (e.g. I started off doing languages;
They’d prefer to die fighting…). And also (although, oddly, the aforementioned reference book doesn’t mention
these) after many verbs of movement (such as they came running… I went skiing) and
