 Adjectives
 An adjective is a word or set of words that modifies (i.e.,
describes) a noun or pronoun. Adjectives may come before
the word they modify.

 Examples:
That is a cute puppy.
She likes a high school senior.
 Adjectives may also follow the word they modify:
 Examples:
That puppy looks cute.
The technology is state-of-the-art.
 Adverbs

Adverbs describe verbs (actions). They

give more detail about the action.
My cat eats slowly.
How does my cat eat?

Adverbs will generally answer the

question 'How'.
Adverbs are used to modify an adjective.

Adverbs that do this are: very, extremely, really,

totally, absolutely, quite, fairly, well. These are
normally placed before the adjective.

It was very hot yesterday.

He is totally crazy.
 Types of Adverbs
 There are many types of adverbs, such as:
 Adverbs of Frequency - always, sometimes, never, once a
week, hourly, etc.
 Adverbs of Manner - carefully, slowly, loudly
 Adverbs of Time - tomorrow, now, this year, next week, soon,
then
 Adverbs of Place/Location - here, there, above, everywhere
 Adverbs of Degree - very, extremely, rather, almost, nearly,
too, quite
 Adverbs of Quantity - a few, a lot, much
 Adverbs of Attitude - fortunately, apparently, clearly.
 Practice

1.- Craig is a careful driver

2.- Lucia always arrives early
3.- Emily walks slowly
4.- Carlos is waiting impatiently
5.- Tom seems polite
6.- I arrive in an hour
  Adverbs answer how, when, where, why, or to what
extent—how often or how much (e.g., daily, completely).

 Examples:
He speaks slowly
 He speaks very slowly
 She arrived today
 She will arrive in an hour
 Let's go outside
 We looked in the basement
 Bernie left to avoid trouble
 Jorge works out strenuously
 Jorge works out whenever possible
 Answers
 Examples:
He speaks slowly (tells how)
He speaks very slowly (the adverb very tells how slowly)
She arrived today (tells when)
She will arrive in an hour (this adverb phrase tells when)
Let's go outside (tells where)
We looked in the basement (this adverb phrase
tells where)
Bernie left to avoid trouble (this adverb phrase tells why)
Jorge works out strenuously (tells to what extent)
Jorge works out whenever possible (this adverb phrase
tells to what extent)
Rule 1.
 Many adverbs end in -ly, but many do not.
Generally, if a word can have -ly added to its
adjective form, place it there to form an adverb.
Examples:
She thinks quick/quickly.
How does she think? Quickly.

She is a quick/quickly thinker.

Quick is an adjective describing thinker, so no -ly is
attached.
Rule 2.
Adverbs that answer the question how sometimes
cause grammatical problems. It can be a
challenge to determine if -ly should be attached.
Avoid the trap of -ly with linking verbs such
as taste, smell, look, feel, which pertain to the
senses. Adverbs are often misplaced in such
sentences, which require adjectives instead.

Examples:
Roses smell sweet/sweetly.
Adverbs Word Order
 Adverbs are usually placed after the verb:
 He speaks clearly.
 When there is an object, the adverb is usually placed after the verb +
object:
 I put the vase carefully on the table.
 However, adverbs are never positioned between the verb and the
object.
 I read the book quickly. - (Correct)
I read quickly the book. - (Incorrect)
 Sometimes adverbs are placed at the beginning of a clause.
 Quickly, I changed my opinion.
