Adverbs & Adjetives
Adverbs
Describe an action.
Many adverbs end in “-ly”. If you are not sure of the part of speech a word would be, and it ends with “-ly”, it is probably an adverb.
Financially.
Quickly.
Completely.
He completely understands me.
Other examples of adverbs would be words that describe how something was done or the manner in which it was done. These would be words like:
Expertly.
Brutally.
Randomly.
Rudy plays the music randomly.
Adverbs can describe to what extent something was done or an action was executed, including:
Very.
Too.
So.
Catherine is too nice.
Adjetives
Describe nouns
We use adjectives before nouns and after the verb be.
Example:
He is TALL
That dog is BEAUTIFUL
They are INTERESTING people.
