Modify Adverbs and Adjectives

Adverbs of manner modify a verb to describe the way the action is done.◦E.g. She worked carefully.

Adverbs of place show where the action is done.◦E.g. They live locally.

Adverbs of time show when an action is done, or the duration or frequency.◦E.g. He did it yesterday. (When)

Adverbs of degree increase or decrease the effect of the verb.

There are many adverb such as:

o E.g: I completely agree with you. (This increases the effect of the verb, whereas 'partially' would decrease it.)

An adjective can be modified by an adverb, which precedes the adjective, except 'enough' which comes after.◦E.g. Hat's really good.

An adverb can modify another. As with adjectives, the adverb precedes the one it is modifying with 'enough' being the exception again.◦E.g. She did it really well.

Adverbs can be sorted into the kinds of questions they answer. Adverbs of manner answer the question, “How?” and adverbs of time “When?”  Adverbs of place “Where?” and adverbs of degree answer “How much?” An adverb of frequency “How often?” Here are some examples:

She watched the children carefully. (How?) I always arrive early for my appointment. (When?) Why don’t you play outside? (Where?) After the trip, I was totally exhausted. (How much?) We watch movies occasionally. (How often?)

Adjectives are words that describe nouns or pronouns. We use adjective to say what a person, etc. is like or seems like. For example, adjectives can give us information about:

Quantity a pair of shoes, many cats Opinion handsome man, beautiful skirt Size big car, short man Shape Square box, oval table Age young sister, old brother Color black hair, brown eyes Origin Cambodian food, Netherlands cheese Material wooden house, cotton sweater Purpose reading book, sleeping bed
