I am learning English grammar. And I was doing exercises of replacing adverbial phrase with adverbial clause. And I am unable to replace adverbial phrase with adverbial clause in the following sentence:
"with a view to early retirement he saved his money."
First of all please explain what this sentence is saying. And what can be adverbial clause of this sentence.?
Thanks

With a view to is an adverbial phrase and means:
Your adverbial (prepositional) phrase
can be transformed into an adverbial clause in this way:
On the above example the subject is omitted: with a view ... [that he] retire early.
