Assalamualaikum w.b.t.....About today's class, we learn about adjectives and adverb.
For information, adjectives it describe the qualities of people, things, places and so on. For more easier, adjectives its describe nouns. There are What kind ?, What colour ?, Which one ?, How many ?...
For example:
- I have a red bike
- Juan ate three hot dogs
- The sports car sped by
- Kaye liked the big tie
- if we use the comparative, we need to add ' than '
>> shorter than
>> taller than
- tall = er
- charming = more
- pretty = pretier
- ugly = uglier
- big = bigger
- If it's end with 1 vowel and 1 consonent...we need to double the consonent.
- For the superlative :
>> the tallest
>> the most charming
Positive = mean
Comparative = meaner
Superlative = meanest
What is a Adverbs???
Adverbs give more information about verbs, adjectives and adverbs. For more easier, Adverbs its describe verbs.
In the following examples, each of the highlighted words is an adverb:
- The seamstress quickly made the mourning clothes.
In this sentence, the adverb "quickly" modifies the verb "made" and indicates in what manner (or how fast) the clothing was constructed.
- The midwives waited patiently through a long labour.
Similarly in this sentence, the adverb "patiently" modifies the verb "waited" and describes the manner in which the midwives waited.
- The boldly spoken words would return to haunt the rebel.
In this sentence the adverb "boldly" modifies the adjective "spoken."
- We urged him to dial the number more expeditiously.
Here the adverb "more" modifies the adverb "expeditiously."
- Unfortunately, the bank closed at three today.
In this example, the adverb "unfortunately" modifies the entire sentence.
Conjunctive Adverbs
You can use a conjunctive adverb to join two clauses together. Some of the most common conjunctive adverbs are "also," "consequently," "finally," "furthermore," "hence," "however," "incidentally," "indeed," "instead," "likewise," "meanwhile," "nevertheless," "next," "nonetheless," "otherwise," "still," "then," "therefore," and "thus." A conjunctive adverb is not strong enough to join two independent clauses without the aid of a semicolon.
The highlighted words in the following sentences are conjunctive adverbs:
- The government has cut university budgets; consequently, class sizes have been increased.
- He did not have all the ingredients the recipe called for;therefore, he decided to make something else.
- The report recommended several changes to the ways the corporation accounted for donations; furthermore, it suggested that a new auditor be appointed immediately.
- The crowd waited patiently for three hours; finally, the doors to the stadium were opened.
- Batman and Robin fruitlessly searched the building; indeed, the Joker had escaped through a secret door in the basement.
