Next level parts of speech—adverbs ! (See the “intro” to adverbs episode here!) https://languageartsladyblog.com/7105-2/ Today’s episode about adverbs covers the following: The sneaky cat EASILY climbs. - So far: Articles/Noun Markers + Noun + Adjectives + Verbs + Adverbs - When my students have two difficult or confusing/similar concepts, I tell them they only need a trick for one! —AdVERB —Adjectives AVA —Adjectives —Verbs —Adverbs Adverbs tell: —HOW: carefully ran —WHEN: later called —WHERE: drove downtown —TO WHAT EXTENT: extremely helpful Not all adverbs are ly words —especially those dealing with time (never, always, seldom, later) —-especially negative words (not, never, seldom, etc) —especially ones that are also prepositions (up, down, over, under, etc) General tips —importance of recognizing all verbs and telling the difference between action/BHL —knowing that to plus action verb is an infinitive (a verb) —importance of knowing the things adverbs tell (since they’re mostly action-related and different than what adjectives tell (what kind, etc) Adverbs Vs prepositions —up the mountain (prep) —hang up the phone (up is adverb) Two kinds of adverb openers 1. One word adverb opener (most ly ones use a comma: Unfortunately, he didn’t answer. ) 2. Adverbial phrase or clause (have to listen carefully for where the phrase or clause ends and the “real sentence” begins: Carefully carrying the cake, he knew she would love it!)
