Adverbs, Negatf : either, neither, tarely, hardly, barety, and Adjective
ADVERBS :
Adverbs are words that modify
a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)
an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How
fast was his car?)
another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the
aisle. — How slowly did she move?)
As we will see, adverbs often tell when, where,
why, or under what conditions something happens or happened. Adverbs frequently
end in -ly ; however, many words and phrases not ending in -ly serve an
adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb.
The words lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly , for instance, are
adjectives:
·
That lovely woman
lives in a friendly neighborhood.
If a group of words containing a subject and
verb acts as an adverb (modifying the verb of a sentence), it is called an
Adverb Clause:
·
When this class is
over, we're going to the movies.
When a group of words not containing a subject
and verb acts as an adverb, it is called an adverbial phrase. Prepositional
phrases frequently have adverbial functions (telling place and time, modifying
the verb):
·
He went to the
movies.
·
She works on
holidays.
·
They lived in Canada
during the war.
NEGATIVE :
1. Either/Or and Neither/Nor
First things first: Either is always paired
with or, and neither is always paired with nor. If you are matching either and
nor, I hate to break it to you, but you're doing it wrong.
Additionally, nor is generally not used where
neither is not also used. Got enough negatives in there for you? Here's an
example:
·
“I fear man nor
beast!” Jay proclaimed as Frank stared at the python coiled on the branch over
his head. (Wrong).
·
“I fear neither man
nor beast!” Jay proclaimed as Frank stared at the python coiled on the branch
over his head. (Right!).
2. Rarely, Hardly, Barely
Rarely is the adverb of
frequency that indicates the intensity of the time (how Often) while hardly and
barely is an adverb of measurement that shows to the inability / difficulty for
someone to do something all three have the same meaning.
Examples:
·
Marti
rarely drinks coffee.
·
Do
you hardly ever get sick.
·
She
barely knows how to read compass and
map.
ADJECTIVE :
An adjective is a word that describes a noun in
a sentence.
Examples of Using an Adjective in a Sentence:
·
The box is large.
·
The shiny penny.
·
The sun shone bright in the blue sky.
If a group of words containing a subject and
verb acts as an adjective, it is called an Adjective
Clause.
