Adjectives:

Bijvoeglijke naamwoorden:

• Zeggen iets over een zelfstandig naamwoord:
  

Ex. the careful driver, the angry teacher, a beautiful dress.

Let op! Soms twee vormen:

   This job is boring / interesting / tiring / annoying (= over ding)

   I am bored / interested / tired / annoyed (= over persoon)

Adverbs:

Bijwoorden:

Zeggen iets over werkwoorden en bijvoegelijke naamwoorden.

Ex. she drove carefully, it rained heavily, incredibly quickly, surprisingly easy.

Adverbs maak je MEESTAL door -ly achter het bijvoeglijk naamwoord te zetten        (quick > quickly,

                  careful > carefully)

Uitzonderingen:

Je gebruikt ook adjectives i.p.v. adverbs bij werkwoorden zoals be / feel / look / taste / sound / smell / seem

Ex. I am tired, she is hungry, you look tired, you smell nice.

Een aantal adverbs maak je NIET met -ly:

   good > well            the good dog, you did well

   fast > fast             the fast car, he ran fast                              ('hardly' =

   hard > hard            the hard test, he tried hard                          nauwelijks)
