Today I learned:
Adverbs tend to be a tricky syntax topic.
But OMG what a relevant and beautiful work they have.
They are useful to describe and modify 1: A verb 2: an adjective and 3: Another adverb. We are still not sure if they can describe a noun and a pronoun.
Most of them come from adjectives and we just have to add "ly"
I also learned that adverbs usually respond to the next questions: - Where
- When
- How
- How often
- How much
One of the most confusing aspects of adverbs is the position in the sentence. It may varies according to the type of adverb. I hope at the end of this course I know the types of adverbs with its most convenient position.
Flowers smell sweet or flowers smell sweetly This one is a confusing example. And because the flowers doesn't have a nose, they cannot smell; so the sentence with the adverb is wrong.
Eg. I smell poorly ¨= My sense of smelling is not so well developed. I smell delicious = I bought a good fragance so it's nice for others.
On the other hand, there are some irregular adverbs that we have to brush up
Good- Well
Hard - Hard
Fast-Fast
Late-Late
