Adjectives : recent, public, evident Adverbs: recently, publicly, evidently Thought there are many adverbs that do not end in -ly, these adverbs can be recognized from their meanings. Adverbs may describe: When something happens iften, soon, later How something happens ‘irst, hard, well Where something happens : here, there, nowhere To cope with the problems with adjectives and adverbs, you need to posses these skills: 1. Knowing when to use adjectives and adverbs 2. Using adjectives rather than adverbs after linking verbs 3. Positioning adjectives and adverbs correctly Use Basic Adjectives and Adverbs Correctly Sometimes in ELPT test, adjectives are used in place of adverbs, or adverbs are used in place of adjectives. However, Adjectives and adverbs have different uses. Adjectives have only ONE function; to describe nouns or pronouns. For example She is a beautiful woman. (beautiful describes woman) ADJ NOUN ¥ ss She is beautiful (beautiful describes pronoun she) PRO ADJ Adverbs describe three different things: Verbs, Adjectives, and other Adverbs. For example: She sings beautifully (beautifully describes verb sings) VERB ADV She is a beautifully dressed woman (beautifully describes noun woman) abv ‘ADJ NOUN She is truly beautifully dressed woman (truly describes adverb beautifully) ADv ADV ‘ADJ NOUN Common Problems in ELPT test: They were seated at a largely* table. (largely is incorrect, it should be large to describe noun table) The child talked quick* to her mother. (quick is incorrect, it should be quickly to describe the verb talked) We read an extreme* long story. . (extreme is incorrect, it should be extremely to describe the adjective long) Remember: 1. Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns 2. Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives and other adverbs Use Adjectives after Linking Verbs Generally, an adverb will come directly after a verb because the adverb is describing the verb. She spoke nicely (nicely describes the verb spoke) However, you must be careful if the verb is a linking verb. A linking verb is followed by an adjective rather than an adverb She looks nice. (looks is a linking verb, it is followed by an adjective nice) Be careful as well that the adjective that goes with the linking verb does not always directly follow the linking verb. He seems unusually nice. (nice is an adjective that describes the subject he, he is itself described by an adverb unusually). In this sentence, it is possible to have an adverb directly after a linking verb, but only if the adverb describes an adjective that follows. Linking Verbs : appear, be, become, feel, look, prove, seem, smell, taste Position of Adjectives and Adverbs Correctly Two common errors of the position of adjectives and adverbs in ELPT test: 1. the position of adjectives with the noun they describe 2. the position of adverbs with objects. In English, it is correct to put one-word adjective in front of the noun it describes. In the test, you may find an incorrect sentence with an adjective placed after the noun it describes. The information important* is on the first page. (important should come before the noun information) A second problem you should be aware of is the position of adverbs with objects of verbs. When a verb has an object, an adverb describing the verb should not come between the verb and its object. He has taken recently* an English course. (recently should not appear between the verb taken and its object English course) There are several possible correct answers to the above sentence Recently he has taken an English course. He has recently taken an English course. He has taken an English course recently. Remember: . | Adjectives: A one-word adjective comes before the noun it describes. It does 1. not come directly after. 2. Adverbs: An adverb can appear in many positions. It cannot be used between a verb and its object. EXERCISE 8A : More Practice on Adjective and Adverb —— 1.
