WHAT ONLINE TOOL
WILL BE USED FOR
EACH CONCEPT?
 SIMPLE ADVERBS
• SIMPLE ADVERBS MODIFY SINGLE WORDS OR PHRASES:

1) ADVERB+VERB

2) ADVERB+ADJECTIVE

3) ADVERB+ADVERB INCREDIBLY
EXAMPLES
1) ADVERB + VERB
• I REALLY LOVE MY FAMILY
2) [STATIVE VERB +] ADVERB + ADJECTIVE
• MY STUDENTS ARE TRULY FANTASTIC
USE ADVERBS WITH ACTION VERBS
AND ADJECTIVES WITH STATIVE
VERBS:
1) ACTION VERB + ADVERB
- I SING WELL. 
- MY SISTER TALKS LOUDLY.

2) STATIVE VERB + ADJECTIVE

3) [ACTION VERB +] ADVERB + ADVERB OF MANNER - THAT DISH LOOKS DELICIOUS
- SHE IS BEAUTIFUL.

ADVERBS OF MANNER
- SLOW-SLOWLY
- BEAUTIFUL-BEAUTIFULLY
- GOOD-WELL*
- FAST-FAST*
- HARD-HARD*

• SHE DANCED REALLY BEAUTIFULLY.

• HE SPEAKS ENGLISH VERY WELL.
EXAMPLES
TASK #1
 SENTENCE ADVERBS
• THEY ARE ALSO CALLED VIEWPOINT ADVERBS.
• THEY EXPRESS AN OPINION OR VIEW ABOUT AN ENTIRE SENTENCE.

OVERALL (=IN GENERAL) , MY AUDITION WENT FINE. I

HOPE I HEAR BACK FROM THEM SOON.
 • YOU CAN USE SENTENCE
ADVERBS:
1) AT THE BEGINNING OF A
SENTENCE
2) IN THE MIDDLE OF A
SENTENCE
 - AFTER THE VERB "TO BE"
 - BEFORE OTHER VERBS
3) AT THE END OF A
SENTENCE
UNFORTUNATELY
 EXAMPLES
- NICOLAS AND GRACE WERE TALKING ABOUT
THEIR TRIP HAPPILY. UNFORTUNATELY, LA
ORION CRASHED THE TAXI THEY WERE IN AND
GRACE DIED.
- SHE’S BASICALLY MY SISTER 
- HE CLEARLY GOT JEALOUS OF HIM.
- THEY WERE THE BEST, CLEARLY.
EXERCISE 2
 • SHE ONLY
SPEAKS
ENGLISH.

• ONLY SHE
SPEAKS
WHAT'S THE ENGLISH.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THESE TWO
SENTENCES?
 FOCUSING ADVERBS
• THESE ADVERBS FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON A WORD OR PHRASE.
• THESE ADVERBS USUALLY PRECEDE THE WORD OR PHRASE FOCUSED
ON.

• EXAMPLES:
- EVEN
- JUST
- ONLY
- ALMOST
• CHANGING THE POSITION OF A FOCUSING ADVERB OFTEN CHANGES
THE MEANING OF THE SENTENCE.

EVEN PEPITO UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE TEACHER SAID.

(THE TEACHER SPOKE SO CLEARLY THAT IT WAS EASY TO UNDERSTAND
FOR MOST PEOPLE, EVEN FOR PEPITO, WHO DOESN'T NORMALLY
UNDERSTAND HIM.)

PEPITO UNDERSTOOD EVEN WHAT THE TEACHER SAID.

(PEPITO UNDERSTOOD WHAT EVERYONE SAID, INCLUDING WHAT THE
TEACHER SAID, WHICH WAS HARD TO UNDERSTAND FOR SOME OTHER
PEOPLE.)

 ...JUST...NOT...
• USE "JUST...NOT" FOR EMPHASIS. 

A: YOU DON' LIKE CEVICHE? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

B: I DON'T KNOW. I JUST DON'T LIKE IT.
 ...NOT JUST...
• USE "NOT JUST" TO STATE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WORTH
MENTIONING.

HE ISN'T JUST THE FASTEST GUY IN THE SCHOOL; HE'S THE FASTEST GUY ON
EARTH.

SHE DOESN'T JUST LIKE HIM; SHE'S HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH HIM.

 NEGATIVE ADVERBS
• NEGATIVE ADVERBS (SUCH AS "NEVER", "SELDOM", "RARELY", "ONLY IN", "ONLY IF" NO
LONGER, AND "LITTLE") ARE THOSE WHICH DON'T NEED THE WORD "NOT" TO CONVEY
A NEGATIVE MEANING.
• YOU CAN INVERT A NEGATIVE ADVERB FOR EMPHASIS, DRAMATIC PURPOSE OR
FORMALITY.

TO INVERT THE NEGATIVE ADVERB IN A SENTENCE THAT HAS AN AUXILIARY VERB (BE /

HAVE / HAD / ETC):
1) MOVE THE ADVERB TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SENTENCE. 
2) INVERT THE SUBJECT AND AUXILIARY VERB.

       I HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL

  
       NEVER HAD I SEEN SUCH A BEAUTIFUL GIRL.
NEGATIVE ADVERB + AUXILIARY VERB + SUBJECT PRONOUN  + REST OF THE SENTENCE
     
TO INVERT THE NEGATIVE ADVERB IN A SENTENCE THAT DOESN'T HAVE AN AUXILIARY
VERB:
1) ADD AN AUXILIARY VERB (DO/DOES/DID) TO THE SENTENCE AND CHANGE THE MAIN
VERB THAT FOLLOWS IT TO ITS BASE FORM.
2) MOVE THE ADVERB TO THE BEGINNING OF THE SENTENCE.
3) INVERT THE SUBJECT AND THE AUXILIARY VERB.

      MY MOM SELDOM COOKS ON SUNDAYS.

      MY MOM SELDOM DOES COOK ON SUNDAYS.

SELDOM DOES MY MOM COOK ON SUNDAYS.

NEGATIVE ADVERB + AUXILIARY VERB + SUBJECT PRONOUN  + REST OF THE SENTENCE

 NOTES
1)
• TO ADD EMPHASIS, YOU CAN ALSO USE "NOT ONLY" AT THE BEGINNING OF A CLAUSE. WHEN DOING
THIS, INVERT THE SUBJECT AND THE VERB IN THE FIRST CLAUSE, BUT NOT IN THE SECOND CLAUSE.

IT WAS NOT ONLY RAINING ALL DAY AT THE WEDDING, BUT ALSO, THE BAND WAS LATE.

NOT ONLY WAS IT RAINING ALL DAY AT THE WEDDING, BUT ALSO, THE BAND WAS LATE.

• WHEN THERE IS NO AUXILIARY VERB OR MAIN VERB BE, USE "DO", "DOES" OR "DID":

SHE NOT ONLY FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY, BUT SHE ALSO DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR FORGETTING IT.
SHE NOT ONLY DID FORGET MY BIRTHDAY, BUT SHE ALSO DIDN'T EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR FORGETTING IT.

NOT ONLY DID SHE FORGET MY BIRTHDAY, BUT SHE ALSO DIDN’T EVEN APOLOGIZE FOR FORGETTING IT.
2)
• USE "NEITHER" TO SHOW THAT A NEGATIVE STATEMENT IS ALSO TRUE
ABOUT ANOTHER PERSON OR THING.

A: I DON'T LIKE TO EAT JUNK FOOD.

B: NEITHER DO I.

A: SHE CAN'T COOK.

B: NEITHER CAN I.

 “HERE” AND “THERE” IN FRONT
POSITION

INVERTED.

X, THERE GOES X:

A: HERE’S THE CD I SAID I’D LEND YOU, THE BRAZILIAN MUSIC.

B: OH, THANKS.

VERB:
