The worst part is that terms like "fronted adverbial" have been pulled straight out of someone's arse. I know a lot about linguistics. There are hundreds upon hundreds of specialist terms for describing every facet of a language, and I can assure you "fronted adverbial" is not one of them.
And even if it were, there are much more important things to know the name of (PhD for any pupil who spotted and is able to name the "subjunctive" and the "preposition ending" in that sentence).

Spanish knowledge helps identify subjunctives Mr Montpoolier, ¿verdad?

Funnily enough, Spanish does but not French, who have the verb forms but only use them for springing traps on foreigners.
