The Difference between Adjectives and Adverbs
The
Basic Rules: Adjectives
Adjectives
modify nouns. To modify means to change in some way. By modifying, adjectives
give more detail about the noun. For example:
ü "I ate a meal." Meal is a noun.
The reader does not know what kind of meal this is, leaving a lot of room open
for interpretation.
ü "I ate an enormous meal." Meal is a noun,
and enormous is an adjective that modifies it. It tells us what kind of meal
the person ate. By using adjectives, the writer gives the reader a better
understanding of the noun.
Adjectives
clarify the noun by answering one of the following different questions:
"What kind?" or "Which?" or "How many?" For
example:
ü "The tall girl is riding her bike." Tall
tells the reader which girl the writer is talking about.
ü “Our old van needs to be replaced soon.” Old tells the
reader what kind of van the writer is describing.
ü "The tough professor gave us the final
exam." Tough tells the reader what kind of professor we're talking about.
Final tells the reader which exam.
ü "Fifteen students passed the midterm exam; twelve
students passed the final exam." Fifteen and twelve both tell the reader
how many students; midterm and final both tell the reader which exam.
So,
generally speaking, adjectives answer the following questions:
Which?
What
kind of?
How
many?
Some
Other Rules for Adjectives
Most
of the time, adjectives come before nouns. However, some adjectives actually
come after the nouns they modify. These adjectives will most often follow a
verb from this list:
be
feel
taste
smell
sound
look
appear
seem
Some
examples:
Ø "The dog is black."
Black is an adjective that modifies the noun dog, but it comes after the verb
is. (Remember that "is" is a form of the verb "be.") What
kind of dog is it? A black dog.
Ø "Brian seems sad." Sad describes the noun,
Brian, not the verb, seems. Sad answers the question “which way does Brian seem?”
Ø "The milk smells rotten."
What kind of smell does the milk have? A rotten one.
Ø "The speaker sounds hoarse."
Hoarse answers the question “which way does the speaker sound?”
Ø “The ice-cream looks melted.”
Here, melted does not describe the verb looks. It describes the noun ice cream.
What kind of ice cream does it look like? Melted ice cream.
Ø “Alex feels sleepy.” What kind of way does Alex feel?
Sleepy.
The
Basic Rules: Adverbs
Adverbs
modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. (You can recognize adverbs easily
because many of them are formed by adding -ly to an adjective, though that is
not always the case.) The most common question that adverbs answer is how.
Let's
look at verbs first.
o "She sang beautifully."
Beautifully is an adverb that modifies sang. It tells the reader how she sang.
o "The cellist played
carelessly." Carelessly is an adverb that modifies played. It tells the
reader how the cellist played.
Adverbs
also modify adjectives and other adverbs.
o "That woman is extremely
nice." Nice is an adjective that modifies the noun woman. Extremely is an
adverb that modifies nice; it tells the reader how nice she is. How nice is
she? She's extremely nice.
o "It was a terribly hot
afternoon." Hot is an adjective that modifies the noun afternoon. Terribly
is an adverb that modifies the adjective hot. How hot is it? Terribly hot.
Adverbs
answer the question how. They can also answer the questions when, where, and
why.
§ “She arrived late.” Late describes when she arrived.
§ “They all went there for the party.” There is where
they all went to the party.
§ “The swim team practices every morning to develop good
habits.” To develop good habits acts as an adverbial infinitive phrase that
explains why the swim team practices every morning. Answering the question why
usually requires an infinitive phrase.
