Examples & Explanations

Adjectives and Adverbs

Simply, adjectives tell us more about nouns (the names of things and people, for example, pencil, France, Monday, cat,
Elsa) and adverbs tell us more about verbs (for example, run, eat, have, do, make, be).

Both mean fast and are used to talk about speed.

Quick is an adjective.
Quickly is an adverb.
