Hello guys ! how are you today ? hopefully
you all have a nice day as always J
Today we back to give some subject matter
from our English discussion wich was held 4 times.
At this 4th edition meeting, we will
discuss about adverb, so cek it out !
Adverb is a word that is
used to change or qualify the meaning of an adjective, a verb, a clause,
another adverb, or any other type of word of phrase with the exception of
determiners and adjectives that directly modify nouns.
Adverbs perform a wide
variety of functions, which makes it difficult to treat them as single, unified
category. Adverbs normally carry out these functions by answering questions,
such as:
When? She always arrives early.
How? He drives carefully.
Where? They go everywhere together.
In what way? She eats slowly.
To what extent? It is terribly hot.
This is called adverbial
function.
There are many rules for using adverbs, and these
rules often depend upon which type of adverb you are using. Remember this basics, and using adverbs to make
sentences more meaningful be easier for you.
vAdverbs can always be used to modify verbs.
Example:
◦ The dog ran. (You can picture a dog running, but
you don’t really know much more about the scene.)
◦ The dog ran excitedly. (You can
picture a dog running, wagging its tail, and loking glad to see its owner. You
can paint a much more interesting picture in your head when you know or why the
dog is running.)
vAdverbs are often formed by adding the
letters “-ly” to adjectives. There are
many exceptions to this rule; everywhere, nowhere, and upstairs
are a few examples.
vAn adverb can be used to modify an adjective and
intensify the meaning it conveys.
Examples:
◦ He plays tennis well. (He knows how to play tennis
and sometimes he wins.)
◦ He plays tennis extremely well. (He knows how to
play tennis so well that he wins often.)
