Learn the examples and mark the adjectives and the adverbs in each sentence.

Complete the rules about adjectives and adverbs by choosing the correct alternative.

Study the rules of using adjectives and adverbs. GRAMMAR BANK

Adjectives:
Adverbs:

Definition: Adjectives describe or modify nouns (people, places, things, or ideas).

Example: The beautiful painting (adjective describing the noun “painting”).

Placement: Adjectives usually come before the nouns they modify.

Example: A colorful landscape (adjective before the noun “landscape”).

Predicate Adjectives: Adjectives can also come after linking verbs (such as “be,” “seem,” “become,” “feel,” etc.) and describe the subject.

Example: The painting is beautiful (adjective after the linking verb “is”).

Comparative and Superlative Forms:

Comparative: Used to compare two things, often ending in “-er” or using “more.”
Example: This painting is brighter than that one.
Superlative: Used to compare three or more things, often ending in “-est” or using “most.”
Example: This is the most beautiful painting in the gallery.

Definition: Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often describe how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

Example: She painted quickly (adverb modifying the verb “painted”).

Formation: Many adverbs are formed by adding “-ly” to adjectives, but not all adverbs end in “-ly.”

Example: Beautiful (adjective) -> Beautifully (adverb).

Placement: Adverbs can be placed in various positions within a sentence, depending on what they modify.

Adverb modifying a verb: She sings beautifully.
Adverb modifying an adjective: The painting is incredibly detailed.
Adverb modifying another adverb: She painted extremely quickly.

Comparative and Superlative Forms:

Comparative: Used to compare actions or qualities, often using “more” or ending in “-er.”
Example: She painted more quickly than he did.
Superlative: Used to compare actions or qualities among three or more items, often using “most” or ending in “-est.”
Example: She painted most beautifully of all.

Some adverbs have irregular forms: good – well, fast – fast etc. They are also irregular in comparative and superlative forms (e.g. well – better – best, fast – faster – fastest).
Example: She sings very well. She sings better than me.

When adding -ly ending to adjectives ending in -y, change -y to -i: happy – happily, funny – funnily

Rewrite the sentences using the adverbs in brackets in the correct place.

Find and highlight a mistake in the sentences (some sentences are correct).

In the previous lesson, we mentioned collocations (words or phrases that often go together). Make collocations containing an adjective or an adverb by matching the words below.

Complete each sentence with one word.

Think of an example of an art piece associated with each collocation and make a sentence about it.

Example:

first-person narrative

melancholic melody
complex characters
