Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives

(R2G Quizzes 2 & 177) A verb is an action. It may be a physical action, such as run, swim, jump. It may be a mental or abstract action, such as think, consider, satisfy Verbs have tenses: jump, jumped, is jumping, has jumped and so on A noun is a thing. It may be a physical thing, such as house, car, chair It may be an abstract thing, such as honor, goodness, confidence An adjective is a description, such as green, old, big, small An adjective cannot have a tense. However, some are spelled with ed or ing: Example: The movie was boring I felt bored These are usually adjectives of feeling (Click here for more details)

He has a lot of __________. A) confident B) confidence We know that a NOUN must go in the blank, because you can have a THING and a noun is a thing. Confidence is a noun, so it is the correct answer. If you are not sure whether a word is a noun, verb or adjective, check your dictionary. Summary: verb noun action thing

adjective description

Adjectives with ed and ing

(R2G quiz 3) 1 Some adjectives end in ed or ing. This does not mean that they are past or present tense. Adjectives do not have tenses. Only verbs have tenses. Some examples of adjectives ending in ed or ing: A bored confused annoyed frustrated charmed amazed B boring confusing annoying frustrating charming amazing

2 Notice that the adjectives in column A mainly describe feelings. In fact, we can say:

I am bored I am confused

or or

I feel bored. I feel confused

...and so on. The adjectives are usually (but not always) applied to people. 3 Notice that the adjectives in column B describe things that give us a particular feeling: The book is confusing My boss is annoying The magician was amazing (...so I feel confused.) (...so I feel annoyed.) (...so I was amazed by his tricks.)

Adverbs
(R2G Quizzes 4,5) Rule 1: quickly awkwardly softly gracefully An adverb is a word that describes a verb. Some examples are:

Example 1: He left quickly. quickly is an adverb that describes how he left. Example 2: She spoke softly. softly is an adverb that describes how she spoke

Adverbs can be used in various places in the sentence: Robert quickly scooped up all the leftovers. Robert scooped up all the leftovers quickly. Most adverbs end in ly, but some dont, such as fast The adverbial form of good is well (not goodly): Wrong: Right: She plays tennis good. She plays tennis well.

Rule 2: Example 1: Example 2:

An adverb can describe the point of view of a sentence Fortunately, nobody was injured in the accident. Obviously, the dog never managed to catch its own tail.

Rule 3: Example 1: Example 2: Also to note:

An adverb can be used to describe an adjective. This comedian is exceptionally funny. The food was surprisingly tasty.

1 really and very are considered adverbs, but we only use very to modify adjectives, not verbs: Correct: Wrong: Correct: Correct: She is very funny. She very likes him. She is really funny. She really likes him.

2 hard and hardly have special meanings: hard is the adverb of hard it doesnt change form. hardly means not very much Example: Example: He is a good employee. He works hard. He is a terrible employee. He hardly works.

3 With verbs describing senses feel, look, sound, taste we tend to use adjectives instead of adverbs Example 1: Example 2: She looks great in that dress. It feels nice to have a nap in the afternoon.

Adverbs of Frequency
(R2G Quiz 6) These adverbs describe how often an event takes place. They are very common in spoken English. Here are the most commonly used ones:

never rarely these words stress that the event is seldom occasionally not usual sometimes normally usually regularly frequently often always

these words stress that the event is usual Note that sometimes has a different meaning without

the -s ending: George sometimes eats steak. (not so often)

We should go to Disneyland sometime. (when we get the chance) It took some time to complete. (an amount of time)

Adverbs of viewpoint
(R2G Quiz 7) We can use an adverb at the beginning of a sentence to show our point of view. In this case, the adverb describes the complete sentence and not just the verb. Some examples: Fortunately, he got out of the boat before it sunk. Recently, Jim has been feeling unwell. As you can see, these adverbs are easy to use. What a great and easy way to expand your vocabulary. The following examples are tested in R2G Quiz 7:

unfortunately commonly personally usually honestly basically fundamentally obviously clearly surprisingly certainly secretly theoretically practically mostly

Adverbial phrases
(R2G Quiz 8) An adverbial phrase is a phrase that acts as an adverb and modifies or describes a sentence. For instance: In a nutshell, you need a new car. The phrase in a nutshell means to say it in brief, and it modifies or describes the meaning of the main clause in the sentence, you need a new car. R2G quiz number 8 tests the following adverbial phrases: Much of the time Surprisingly As often as not As much as possible As long as During Without In less than Well enough There are many, many phrases in English that can function as adverbial phrases.
