Adverb vs Adjective
Definitions
· An adjective is
a word or set of words that modifies (i.e., describes) a noun
or pronoun. Adjectives may come before the word they modify.
Examples:
That is a cute puppy.
She likes a high school senior.
That is a cute puppy.
She likes a high school senior.
Adjectives may also follow the word
they modify:
Examples:
That puppy looks cute.
The technology is state-of-the-art.
That puppy looks cute.
The technology is state-of-the-art.
· An adverb is
a word or set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Examples:
He speaks slowly (modifies the verb speaks)
He is especially clever (modifies the adjective clever)
He speaks all too slowly (modifies the adverb slowly)
He speaks slowly (modifies the verb speaks)
He is especially clever (modifies the adjective clever)
He speaks all too slowly (modifies the adverb slowly)
An adverb answers how, when, where,
or to what extent—how often or how much (e.g., daily, completely).
Examples:
He speaks slowly (answers the question how)
He speaks very slowly (answers the question how slowly)
He speaks slowly (answers the question how)
He speaks very slowly (answers the question how slowly)
The Difference between Adjectives and Adverbs
The
Basic Rules: Adjectives
Adjectives modify nouns. To modify
means to change in some way. For example:
·
"I ate a meal." Meal is
a noun. We don't know what kind of meal; all we know is that someone ate a
meal.
·
"I ate an enormous lunch." Lunch is
a noun, and enormous is an adjective that modifies it. It
tells us what kind of meal the person ate.
Adjectives usually answer one of a
few different questions: "What kind?" or "Which?" or
"How many?" For example:
·
"The tall girl
is riding a new bike." Tall tells us which girl
we're talking about. New tells us what kind of bike
we're talking about.
·
"The tough professor
gave us the final exam." Tough tells us what
kind of professor we're talking about. Final tells us which exam
we're talking about.
·
"Fifteen students
passed the midterm exam; twelve students passed the final
exam." Fifteen and twelve both tell us how
many students;midterm and final both tell us which exam.
Adverbs and Adjectives with the same
form
There
are a number of adjectives / adverbs that take the same form. It therefore
depends on the sentence context as to whether it is an adjective or an adverb.
The adjectives / adverbs that take
the same form include: fast, hard, early, late, high, low, right, wrong,
straight and long.
·
