Choose between adjectives and adverbs
Key Notes :
1. Understanding Adjectives and Adverbs
- Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things).
- Example: “The happy dog barked.” (What kind of dog?)
- Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
- Example: “The dog barked loudly.” (How did the dog bark?)
2. When to Use Adjectives
- Use adjectives when you want to give more information about a noun.
- They answer questions like:
- What kind? (e.g., “The blue car.”)
- How many? (e.g., “There are five apples.”)
- Which one? (e.g., “That tall building.”)
3. When to Use Adverbs
- Use adverbs when you want to give more information about a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
- They answer questions like:
- How? (e.g., “She runs quickly.”)
- When? (e.g., “I will call you later.”)
- Where? (e.g., “The cat is hiding under the table.”)
4. Examples to Illustrate the Difference
- Adjective Example: “The fast car won the race.” (Describes the noun “car.”)
- Adverb Example: “The car raced fast.” (Describes how the verb “raced” is done.)
- Choosing:
- “She is a quick runner.” (Adjective describing “runner.”)
- “She runs quickly.” (Adverb describing how she runs.)
