KINDS OF
ADJECTIVES
AND ADVERBS
What are Adjectives and Adverbs?
Adjectives and Adverbs
are both words used to describe/modify something. But they differ on the
things they modify. Adjectives describe noun and pronouns while adverbs modify
verbs, adjectives or another adverbs.

• ADJECTIVES
There are two major classifications of adjectives.
Descriptive adjectives- The descriptive adjectives can be simply defined as the type of adjectives
that are used to express the size, color, or shape of a person, a thing, an
animal, or a place. They are used to provide more information to a noun by describing or modifying
it. You should know that descriptive adjectives usually express things that are observable through the
five senses (touch, taste, sight, smell, and sound).

Examples: Fast, Muscular, Pink, hairy, Long and brown, short, bright, pretty
What are Adjectives and Adverbs?
Limiting adjectives- is “one of a small group of adjectives that modify the
nouns to which they are applied by restricting rather than
describing or qualifying.”
ADVERBS
An Adverb-is a word which adds to the meaning of a Verb, and tells us how a
thing is done, when it is done or where it is done.
There are seven classifications of adverbs. These includes the adverb
of manner, time, place, degree, frequency, affirmation and
negation.
ADVERBS
An adverb of manner describes the way or manner in which action occurs or
occurred or will occur. Adverbs of manner answer the question “How?” i.e. how
something is done or happens. This includes words such as slowly, loudly, fast, etc.

Example: Adverb of manner

 She wrote the letter nicely.

It answers the question “HOW”

An adverb of time tells us about the time of action. These adverbs answer the

question ‘when?’ These includes words such as tomorrow, today, yesterday, now, then,
never, soon, already, ago, immediately, formerly, lately etc.

Example: Adverb of time

Selena will come to our house tomorrow.

It answers the question “WHEN”
ADVERBS
An adverb of place tells us about the place of action. It answers the question
“Where?” i.e. the place where an action occurs/occurred/will occur. This includes
words such as here, there, near, somewhere, outside etc.

Example:    Adverb of place

The girls are playing outside. It answers the question “WHERE”

An adverb of degree tells us the degree or extent to which something occurs or

occurred or will occur. Adverbs of degree are also known as Adverbs of Quantity. It
answer the question "how much?" or "to what degree?" This includes words
such as much, very, fully, partly, little, enough, so, rather etc.

Example: Adverb of degree

Pharsa was very tired of flying. It answers the question “TO WHAT
EXTENT/DEGREE?”
ADVERBS
An adverb of Frequency tells us how many times the action occurs or occurred or will
occur. These includes words such as daily, sometimes, often, seldom, usually, frequently, always,
ever, generally, weekly, rarely, monthly, yearly etc.
Adverb of frequency
Example:
  Bruno struck the ball twice. It answers the question “

An adverb of negation is when it is necessary to state that a fact is not true, it can be done
by using any negative words, phrases or clauses. Negation refers to these negative words,
phrases and clauses.
Adverb of negation
Example:
Negative word
Layla did nothing for this project.
An adverb of affirmation these are words which declare that a given statement or fact is
true, or positive. Adverb of
affirmation
Example:
It declares the given
He will surely give you money. statement is positive.
COORDINATING,
SUBORDINATING,
AND CORRELATIVE
CONJUNCTIONS
What are conjunctions?
 Conjunctions- are words that join two or more words, phrases and
clauses.
Examples:
Joining two or more words:
The dog scratched and panted.

Joining two or more phrases:

My doctor can choose to measure my height, my
weight, or check my temperature.
What are conjunctions?
Joining two or more sentences:
Daniel wants to play Mobile Legends.
Ivan wants to play Clash of Clans.
Daniel wants to play Mobile Legends but Ivan wants to
play Clash of Clans.

I ate lunch with Beauty.

I ate lunch with Derma.
I ate lunch with Beauty and Derma.
Three (3) types of conjunctions
Coordinating
conjunctions

Correlative conjunctions

Subordinating
conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions- connect words, phrases, or clauses that are
independent or equal.
- You can memorize them with the acronym
FANBOYS.
Coordinating Conjunctions and Their Meanings
1. And- means “in addition to”:
Example: We are going to a zoo and an aquarium on the same day.

2. But- connects two different things that are not in agreement:

Example: I am a night owl but she is an early bird.

3. Or- indicates a choice between two things:

Example: Do you want a pink one or green one.

4. So- illustrates the result of the first thing:

Example: It was raining, so I brought my golden umbrella.
Coordinating Conjunctions and Their Meanings

5. For- means “because”:

Example: I want to go there again, for it was a wonderful trip.

6. Yet- indicates contrast with something:

Example: He performed very well, yet he didn’t make the final cut.

7. Nor- means “am not or not neither”:

Example: That is neither what I said nor what I meant.
Correlative Conjunctions
Correlative conjunctions work in pairs to join words, phrases, or clauses.
The correlative conjunctions include pairs such as “both/and”, “either/or”,
“neither/nor”, and “not only/but also”.

For examples:
1. Both/and
She won gold medals from both the single and group races.
Both TV and television are correct words.

2. Either/or

I am fine with either Noah Flynn or his younger brother, Lee Flynn.
You can have either lipstick or lip gloss.
Correlative Conjunctions
3. Neither/nor
He enjoys neither dancing nor singing.
Neither you nor I will get off early today.

4. Not only/but also

Not only pink but also green looks good on you.
Ariana Grande got the perfect score in not only in English but also in math.
Correlative Conjunctions
Remember!
Correlative conjunctions are stronger than coordinating
conjunctions and emphasize the relationship between ideas being
joined. Notice the difference in the following sentences:
Cats and dogs make good pets. (coordinating conjunctions)
Both cats and dogs make good pets. (correlative conjunctions)

Ron or Dave found my bicycle. (coordinating conjunctions)

Either Ron or Dave found my bicycle. (correlative conjunctions)
Subordinating Conjunctions
 A subordinating conjunction is a word that connects an independent clause to
a dependent clause.

 An independent clause can stand alone as a sentence. In other words, it does

not need any additional information to operate as a sentence.

 In contrary, a dependent clause cannot stand alone by themselves and their

meaning is dependent on the independent clause. In short, dependent clause is not
a complete sentence.
Ex. of subordinating
 For example: conjunctions

Carl played outside in the yard until it was too dark to see.

Independent clause. Dependent clause
