Adjective and adverb usage
An adjective is simply a word which modifies the noun it is related to. Adjectives usually come before the modified noun. An adjective could also be a phrase or a clause instead of being a single word.
John bought a
blue shirt. (single word)
Last night, a man
in a blue coat stole my wallet. (phrase)
I love the car
which just crossed the street. (clause)
Adverbs are like adjectives, but they modify the verb. Ordinarily, there are three types of adverbs (see above examples).
He
carefully left the room.
He left the room
with a scared face.
He left the room
which was located on the seventh floor.Most single word adverbs are made simply by adding -ly to the end of the respective adjective:
Careful-ly = in a careful manner
Usually = in a usual manner (often)
Simply = in a simple way
