GRAMMAR OVERVIEW: ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS
An
adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun by describing or identifying words. An adjective
usually comes
before the noun or the pronoun which it modifies. ("a
nice cat" "a
happy couple")
An
adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause.
An adverb describes an action (verb) and answers questions such as "how," "when," "where," "how much".
Many adverbs can be identified by their characteristic "ly" suffix (coldly, plainly, happily,
etc.)
Unlike an adjective, an adverb can be found in various places within the sentence.
