Is while talking a noun clause adjective or adverb clause?

"While talking" is an adverb clause. Here's why:

* Adverb clauses modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer questions like "how," "when," "where," "why," or "to what extent."

* In this case, "while talking" modifies a verb (an action word) and tells us when the action is happening.

Example:

* "While talking on the phone, I tripped and fell."

Here, "while talking on the phone" tells us *when* the action of tripping and falling occurred.
