Adjucts are sentence elements (often adjectives and adverbs) that clarify certain semantic circumstances such as time, place, actors, conditions, and can also be removed without really changing the overall structure/grammar of the sentence.

Adjucts can be single words (adjectives, nouns in phrases), phrases such as 'in the morning', and clauses like 'after she has had breakfast' (a relative adverbial clause).
