When there are two or adverbs, (a verb and its object) the normal order is;
i). Adverb of manner.

SPEECHES.
Direct speech.
This is when the actual words of the speaker are written as they were mentioned without changing
anything.

Example

The actual words of the speaker are enclosed in quotation marks.
A comma separates the speaker’s from the verb that reports.

command.

Example

64

- Questions beginning with helping verbs e.g Is, Are, Has, Did, Have, etc require the
