Review on Nouns, Pronouns, Verbs,
Adjectives and Adverbs Topic 5. Adverb An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree and answers questions such as "How?", "When?", "Where"?, "Why?", "In what way?", "How much?", "How often?", "Under what condition?", "To what degree or extent?"
The easiest adverbs to recognize are those that end in -ly. Some adjectives end with -ly also but remember that adjectives modify only nouns and pronouns. Adverbs modify everything else.Unlike an adjective, an adverb can be placed anywhere in a sentence. Examples: a. Read the book now. (adverb modifying a verb) (verb) (adverb) b. The room is too spacious for twenty students. (adjective)
(adverb) (adjective) c. The lady guard shouted at him very loudly. (mod. adverb) (adverb) (adverb)
FORMATION OF ADVERBS 1. Adverbs that end in -ly are formed by adding -ly to an adjective, a present participle, or a past participle. a. from an adjective loving – lovingly creative- creatively honest – honestly meaningful - meaningfully responsible – responsibly wonderful- wonderfully
measured – measuredly broken- brokenly assured – assuredly exaggerated – exaggeratedly 2. When adjective ends in -able or -ible, the adverb is formed by replacing final –e with –y horrible – horribly terrible – terribly comfortable- comfortably noble- nobly funny- funnily angry-angrily
3. When adjective ends in -y, the adverb is formed by replacing final -y with -ily happy – happily lucky – luckily healthy- healthily steady- steadily wealthy-wealthily guilty- guiltily funny- funnily angry-angrily
4. When adjective ends in -ic, the adverb is formed by replacing final -ic with -ically sarcastic – sarcastically economic - economically historic – historically tragic- tragically dramatic- dramatically
