    Chapter 1 - Adjectives and Adverbs

    Adjectives and Adverbs are used to describe nouns and verbs. Adjectives such as blue or pretty describe nouns. Adverbs such as slowly or beautifully describe verbs.

    The adjectives which indicate religion or nationality begin with a capital letter, whether they refer to people or objects:

    Greg goes to a Catholic church.

    Tom is an English pupil.

    In most cases, the adjective is put in front of the noun. When two adjectives precede a noun, they can be connected by a comma (,) or by the conjunction and. A batch of adjectives, is usually connected by a comma (,) or at the last one by the conjunction and.

    – Examples:

    Timmy is a good, nice and obedient dog.

    Timmy likes long and quiet walks with his master.

    In order to get perfect, we have to practice learning English for many long, hard hours.

    Adjectives that are placed directly before a noun:

    – Examples:

    Tom is an excellent baseball player.

    I bought a comfortable sofa.

    Timmy is thinking about playing with a new toy.

    – If an adjective is used in a sentence with the verb 'to be', then the adjective describes the subject of the sentence:

    – Examples:

    Timmy is sad.

    John was very angry.

    Adverbs are, in most cases, made from adjectives, by adding ly, but for a few exceptions.

    – Examples:

    Soft – softly

    Sad – sadly

    Cold – coldly

    – Exceptions:

    Good – well

    Late – late

    Early – early

    Fast – fast

    Hard - hard

    – Placement of the adverbs

    An adverb which modifies a verb is generally put at the end of the sentence.

    Timmy plays nicely.

    Jane learned her lessons well.

    Joseph worked diligently.

    They worked hard before coming home.

    An adverb of time and space is generally put at the end of the sentence.

    Timmy played with her today.

    Jane and Dan are going to school tomorrow.

    Timmy got up very early.

    An adverb which modifies adjectives or another adverb is placed before the adjective or the adverb that they modify:

    Jane was very sad to see Timmy leave.
