    Adjectives and adverbs - English lesson


    ➡️ Adjectives:

     

    You use an adjective to describe a noun (a thing or a person). It tells you more about the noun's qualities or state.

    Example:

    I am sad because my hamster has just died. (How am I? Sad. The adjective "sad" describes the pronoun "I".)




    ➡️ Adverbs:

    You use an adverb to describe how an action is performed. It modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It often answers the questions "how?", "when?", "where?", or "to what extent?".

    Example:

    At least, my hamster died quickly and without a lot of suffering. (How did my hamster die? Quickly. The adverb "quickly" modifies the verb "died".)



    Here are some additional points that might be helpful:

    • Formation of adverbs: Many adverbs are formed by adding "-ly" to an adjective (e.g., quick → quickly, sad → sadly). However, there are exceptions (e.g., fast, hard). Some words can be both adjectives and adverbs (e.g., fast).
    • Position of adverbs: Adverbs can be placed in different positions in a sentence. They can come before the verb, after the verb, or at the beginning or end of the sentence. The position can sometimes affect the emphasis of the sentence.
    • Types of adverbs: There are different types of adverbs, including adverbs of manner (how), adverbs of time (when), adverbs of place (where), and adverbs of degree (to what extent).

     

    Now it's up to you to choose between the adjective or the adverbe in the following test. Good luck!
