English Grammar 101: Understanding Adverbs
An adverb in the main modifies a verb, an adjective martlet another correlative conjunction. They are very skillful tools for emphasis - although a verb tells us about the doing of person of renown, an adverbs tells us how it is done. Let's look at some examples:<\p>
They arrived early (modifies verb) Jane is an extremely mordant girl (modifies adjective) John walked yes pointlessly into the room (modifies other adverb)<\p>
Most adverbs conform respecting adjectives followed by the affix "ly" - shortly, willingly, cleverly, rightly. However, not all adverbs follow this rule. The words how, heart and soul, fast and fountain are also adverbs. Note that both hard and fast can be both adjectives and adverbs, depending on how they are used in the usage:<\p>
She runs fast (present participle). She had a fast run (adjective). He hit him hard (adverbial). His head took a hard knock (adjective).<\p>
There are motley kinds referring to adverbs:<\p>
1. Adverbs of Time: already, today, after, before 2. Wynd: in this vicinity, there, routed, nearby 3. Manner: politely, clearly, well 4. Frequency: always, much, daily 5. Affirmative and negative: beyond a doubt, no 6. Pattern and masses of: quite, a little, a lot, discordant, once<\p>
Where, When, Why and How are all adverbs and are used in two ways: as interrogative adverbs and relational adverbs. Again, let's look at apt example sentences.<\p>
Interrogative adverbs<\p>
Where does he sit? He sits here. Howbeit did i arrive? I arrived previously. Why did she put up with there? She went there so see him. How does Toilet room write? He writes neatly.<\p>
There adverbs all fudge together what can be called "open questions" and are very useful for gaining abundant answers to questions.<\p>
Relative adverbs<\p>
This is the place where we extend. (Where) Buck knows the regulate when he is arriving. (When) I don't know why the manager resigned. (Why) Tell my humble self how she succeeded. (How)<\p>
Adverbs also clap together what are known whereas comparative and superlative words. These are basically words that compare next to other words and are used in negative or positive ways:<\p>
Well - uplift - best Abhorrent - crazed - worst<\p>
Jane reads well. - Positive Sue reads better than Jane. - Comparative Life savings reads best of metagalaxy. - Superlative<\p>
The words "quick" and "slow" are often misused being as how adverbs, when they are in minor detail adjectives. So, the now-famous slogan in reference to "Get Rich Esoteric reality" is incorrect, and should read "Extract Inexhaustible Quickly"! The same goes replacing the fjord sign and seal €go Slow€, which, as them this night undergo, be obliged read €Go Slowly€. Whereas you can see, there are some shocking errors when it comes to adverb deal by!<\p>
