What have we recently learned?
Adverbs
Adverbs provide context in a sentence by describing how, when, where, and to what extent
something occurs. Adverbs can be used to modify verbs, adjectives, and even other adverbs.
Examples:
Adverbs modifying verbs, adjectives, and adverbs
✓ Tamara danced slowly.
✓ Jeff is extremely talented.
✓ I started playing golf quite recently.

Adverbs vs. adjectives:
While adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and entire sentences, adjectives can only
modify nouns and pronouns (e.g., “the red door”).
Adverbs are often formed by adding “-ly” to the end of an adjective. However, adverbs can also
be formed from adjectives in other ways, depending on the ending.
Underline both the verb and the adverb that modifies it:
1. Alexandra practiced soccer frequently.
2. Jeffrey always wanted to be an astronaut.
3. Aaron’s father sang the song loudly.
4. The small girl eagerly licked her ice cream cone.
5. The angry bear in the forest growled menacingly.
6. The captain quickly boarded the boat anchored in the harbor.
7. The sneaky snake slithered swiftly and silently.
Circle the adjective or the adverb to complete each sentence.
1. My classmate is a _____ person. [ nice / nicely ]
2. I can speak Spanish very _____. [ good / well ]
3. Katrina took a painting class, so she can paint _____ pictures. [ beautiful / beautifully ]
4. Mr. Smith looked _____ at me when I arrived late. [ angry / angrily ]
5. Of course, I was _____ when I got an A+ on the exam. [ happy / happily ]
6. The music is too _____. Please turn it down! [ loud / loudly ]
7. My friends all tell me that I sing _____. [ bad / badly ]
8. The thief _____ took the money and walked out the door. [ quiet / quietly ]
9. The cat waited _____ for the mouse to come out of the hole. [ silent / silently ]
Verbs & Preposition
Phrasal verbs are two or more words that together act as completely new verbs with a meaning
separate from those of the original words. For example, pick up means to grab or lift, very
different from the definitions of pick and up alone.
Here are some of the prepositions most commonly used with verbs:
For / to / about / with / of / in / at / on / from
Usage:
Prepositional verbs always take a direct object (either a noun or gerund) after the preposition
and cannot be separated by it. For example:
"She looked at the painting for hours."
"They agreed on the plan after much discussion."
"We are waiting for the bus."
Examples of common pairings:
Because there are no established rules or methods to determine which prepositions accompany
which verbs, we have to settle on memorizing some of the most common verb + preposition
combinations.
The following sections contain numerous examples of commonly used prepositional verbs.
Verb + for
The preposition for can be used with a number of verbs, often to emphasize purpose or reason.
For example:
Verb + for Example Sentences
apologize for “Brittany never apologizes for her behavior.”
ask for “The student asked for a pencil.”
beg for “The man begged for a second chance.”
care for “I don’t care for salads.”
fight for “Many generations of people have fought for freedom."
hope for “The family is hoping for a miracle.”
long for “The man longed for the days of his youth.”
pay for “Who’s going to pay for these tickets?”
provide for “Parents are expected to provide for their children.”
search for “Did you search for the missing piece yet?”
wait for “I’m waiting for the bus.”
wish for “Some people wish for nothing but fame.”
work for “She works for the government.”
Verb + to
To is commonly used with verbs and usually refers to direction (literal or metaphorical) or con-
nections between people or things. For example:
Verb + to Example Sentences
travel to to “I“You’ll
adjust am traveling toyour
adjust to England
newtomorrow.”
school in no time.”
listen to to “Grace
admit is listening
“He admitted to music
to reading herindiary.”
her room.”
gobelong
to to“Anthony,
“The walletplease go to
belongs tothe
thatback of the
woman classroom.”
over there.”
relate to “I can’t relate to this character at all.”
respond to “Josh responded to his friend’s email.”
talk to “He talked to the manager for more than an hour.”
turn to “Turn to page 46 for a diagram of the procedure.”
Verb + about:
Many verbs take the preposition about when referring to things, events, or gerunds. For exam-
ple:
ask about = “I asked about the company’s job opening.”
care about = “She doesn’t seem to care about going to college.”
Verb + with
Verbs using the preposition with usually point to connections and relationships between people
or things. For example:
compare with = “How does the restaurant’s soup compare with Vera’s?”
compete with = “When I run races, I only compete with the clock.”
Put in the correct preposition.
1. It's so noisy – I can't concentrate _____ my homework.
2. Don't worry – I'll pay _____ the tickets.
3. The car belongs _____ my father, so I don't think we can use it.
