Lesson 48
Adverbs

 

Not and its contraction n't are adverbs. They really modify the entire sentence, but we will have them modify the verb as it is the most important word in the sentence. This is a common practice in grammar books. Remember that adverbs tell us how, when, where, why, and how much and modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.

 

Find the adverbs in these sentences and tell which word they modify.

 

1. Terri did not do the work correctly.

 

2. Mom was never so deeply pleased with the kids.

 

3. Badger actually likes almost every cat he sees.

 

4. I recently found that you wouldn't help.

 

5. You will not go tomorrow to that very scary movie.

 

 

--For answers scroll down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Answers:

 

1. not, correctly (both words modify the verb did do)

 

2. never, so, deeply (never and deeply modify the verb was pleased; so modifies deeply telling how much)

 

3. actually, almost (actually modifies the verb likes; almost modifies every telling how much)

 

4. recently, n't (recently modifies the verb found; n't modifies the verb would help)

 

5. not, tomorrow, very (not and tomorrow modify the verb will go; very modifies scary telling how much)

 

Note: Adverbs that modify verbs always modify the whole verb phrase when it is made up of more than one word.

Lesson 46
Adverbs

Adverbs are words that modify (1) verbs, (2) adjectives, and (3) other adverbs. They tell how (manner), when (time), where (place), how much (degree), and why (cause). Why is a common one-word adverb that tells why. Adverbs that tell us how, when, where, and why always modify the verb. Adverbs that tell us how much modify adjectives or other adverbs. These adverbs are also called qualifiers because they strengthen or weaken the words they modify.

Examples: He kicked the ball solidly. (how); He kicked the ball immediately. (when); He kicked the ball forward. (where); He kicked the ball too hard. (how much).

Find the adverbs in the following sentences and what they tell us.

1. Paul answered the question quickly.

2. The answer was given too softly.

3. I soon understood what he said yesterday.

4. Becky and Pam wanted to know then and there.

5. Why do we misunderstand others so often?
