RELATIVE ADVERBS

Relative adverb: Where

Example: the place where we met him
Relative adverb: why

Adverbs of Manner:
ResponderEliminarAdverbs of manner tell us how something happens. They are usually
placed after the main verb or after the object.
Often these adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the end of an adjective.
-Adjectives ending -l add -ly ; careful-carefully.
-Adjectives ending -y change to -ily ; lucky-luckily
-Adjectives ending -ble change to -bly ; responsible-responsibly
Examples:
•He swims well, (after the main verb)
• He ran... rapidly, slowly, quickly..
• She spoke...softly, loudly, aggressively..
•James coughed loudly to attract her attention.
• He plays the flute beautifully. (after the object)
• He ate the chocolate cake greedily.
BE CAREFUL! The adverb should not be put between the verb and the object:
•He ate greedily the chocolate cake [incorrect]
•He ate the chocolate cake greedily [correct]
If there is a preposition before the object, e.g. at, towards, we can
place the adverb either before the preposition or after the object.
Example:
• The child ran happily towardshis mother.
• The child ran towards his mother happily.
Some adverbs of manner:
Adjective -Adverb
-anxious -anxiously
-bad -badly
-beautiful -beautifully
-capable -capably
-lucky -luckily
-quick-quickly
-weak -weakly
EXERCISE:
Choose a word in brackets to fill the gaps.
1They dance the cha-cha-cha ________________________ (beautiful / beautifully)
2 She planned their trip to Greece very ________________________. (careful / carefully)
3 Jim painted the kitchen very ________________________. (bad / badly)
4 She speaks very ________________________. (quiet / quietly)
5 Turn the stereo down. It's too ________________________. (loud / loudly)
6 He skipped ________________________ down the road to school. (happy / happily)

ADVERBS OF CERTAINTY
ResponderEliminarThese adverbs express how certain or sure we feel about an action or event.
Common adverbs of certainty:
Certainly: with certainty; without doubt.
Definitely: without question and beyond doubt.
Probably: most likely; presumably
Undoubtedly: unquestionably.
Surely: with confidence; unhesitatingly.
ü Adverbs of certainty go before the main verb but after the verb 'to be':
· He definitely left the house this morning.
· He is probably in the park.
ü With other auxiliary verb, these adverbs go between the auxiliary and the main verb:
· He has certainly forgotten the meeting.
· He will probably remember tomorrow.
ü Sometimes these adverbs can be placed at the beginning of the sentence:
· Undoubtedly, Winston Churchill was a great politician.
BE CAREFUL! with surely. When it is placed at the beginning of the sentence, it means the speaker thinks something is true, but is looking for confirmation
Example:
· Surely you've got a bicycle?

INTERROGATIVE ADVERBS
ResponderEliminarThese are:
Why, Where, How, When
But these words themselves are adverbs. They may be used as interrogative adverbs at the beginning of direct questions.
Examples:
•Why are you so late?
•Where is my passport?
•How are you?
•How much is that coat?
•When does the train arrive?
*NOTICE that how can be used in four different ways
GROUP #6
Valentina Sossa
Daniela Rios
Valentina Sanchez
Paying attention to the correct word order, rewrite the underlined indirect questions as direct questions. For example:
EliminarI would like to know why you are here.
Why are you here?
I wonder how often he comes here.
How often does he come here?
Tell me where you have been.
Where have you been?
1. I want to know how much money you collected.
2. I wonder where they were.
3. Tell me why I should attend the meeting.
4. I would like to know when he finds time for his hobbies.
5. Do you know why she left school?
6. I am curious to know how many times you have seen this movie.
7. Will you tell me when you completed the assignment?
8. He will ask how long it will take.
9. Tell me where you are.
10. I wonder why she did not reply.
11. Find out when the bank opens.
12. Can you tell me where she is staying?
ADVERBS OF DEGREE:
ResponderEliminarAdverbs of degree increase or decrease the effect of the verb.
EG: I completely agree with you. (This increases the effect of the verb, whereas 'partially' would decrease it.)
Adverbs of degree:
1. We use adverbs of degree to modify verbs. They make the verb stronger or weaker.
I totally disagree.
I can nearly swim.
2. Some adverbs can come in front of a main verb, after a main verb, or after the object if there is one.
badly
completely greatly
seriously strongly
totally
Mr Brooke strongly criticized the Bank of England.
I disagree completely with John Taylor.
That argument doesn't convince me totally.
Some adverbs are mostly used in front of the verb.
- Almost- largely -nearly -really -quite.
Examples:
He almost crashed into a lorry.
Note that ‘really’ is used at the beginning of a clause to express surprise, and at the end of a clause as an adverb of manner.
Really, I didn't know that!
He wanted it really, but he was too shy to ask.
‘A lot’ and ‘very much’ come after the main verb if there is no object, or after the object.
She helped a lot.
We liked him very much.
‘Very much’ can come after the subject and in front of verbs like ‘want’, ‘prefer’, and ‘enjoy’.
I very much wanted to take it with me.
Those are some adverbs of degree:
absolutely ( very)
amazingly (surprisingly)
awfully( very)
extensively (very)
extremely (very)
hardly (not much)
highly (very)
hugely
immensely
enormously
entirely
exceedingly
