Grammar :D

Adverbs/Adjectives: what were they again?

Adjectives & Adverbs

Adjectives say something about a noun.

Adverbs say something about verbs or adjectives/other adverbs.

Example:

- The election is slow.              The slow election

- They are counting slowly.       Slowly counting

How to Make an Adverb

Add -ly to an adjective to make an adverb.

Example: Slow becomes slowly.

Exceptions!

Some adverbs are irregular, such as good (adj) - well (adv).

Some adverbs are the same as their adjective form: deep - fast

fair - hard - high - late - low - long - right - straight - wrong

How to Make an Adverb

More exceptions (:

After to be/to feel/to look/to smell/to sound/to taste: adjective instead of adverb (even though you're modifying a verb!)

Example: This is bad. (not: this is badly).

Reminder: Most of these verbs describe a sense!

Now You!

Make the grammar exercises on p. 42 - 41, ex. 8 & 9. 

This is also a module.

Finished? Excellent work! Have a look at exercise 10, a writing exercise. We're going to write on paper.
