USING SIMPLE ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS IN S

You already know that an adjective describes a noun or a pronoun. What it means is that you identify an adjective in a sentence by finding out the function it performs in the sentence. e.g

1.) The OLD man fainted after standing in the sun for a while.

2.) I warned Chima to dispose of the ROTTEN eggs.

3.) I bought SIX apples.

4.) Is it true that she is INSINCERE?

An adverb modifies a verb. eg 

1.) Hold those egss CAREFULLY.

2.) She walks GRACEFULLY.

3.) We travel WEEKLY

4.) They sang MELODIOUSLY.

NOTE: carefully explains how the eggs should be held. In other words, it describes HOLD.

> Gracefully describes WALKS.

> Weekly describes TRAVEL.

> Melodiously describes SANG.
