Part of Speech:

Adjective & Adverb

Let's analyze....
 LEARNING OBJECTIVES
You are able to
1. differenciate the form of ADJECTIVE and
ADVERB in the sentence
2. identify ADJECTIVE and ADVERB in the
sentences as a part of speech.
 ADJECTIVE vs ADVERB
Let's analyze the following sentences
Rosa is beautiful.
The beautiful song is sung by
Rosa
The high price suprised me
The price seemed high
Let's analyze the following sentences
Rosa sings a song beautifully*
Rosa usually sings a beatuful
song
I've been waiting for hours
I completely* forgot her
birthday.
 How adjectives are used...
• Before nouns:
There are so many historical buildings.
It was well worth the trip, especially if you like
local crafts
• After the following verbs;be, become, get,
seem, appear, look, smell, taste, feel;
The mosques in particular are very beautiful.
They always seem friendly.
Adjective: its role in the sentence..
Adjectives always describe OR modify OR qualify
noun. Adjectives describe NOUNS OR
PRONOUNS by giving some information about an
object’s size, shape, age, color, origin or material.

For example:
They live in a big house (big describes the house)
The house is also beautiful.
Adjectives.....
• Adjectives also act as complements.
Complements are words that complete the 
predicate of a sentence when the verb is “be.”
It is called a nominal sentence.
• He is tall.
• He was smart, handsome and rich.
The order of adjective
 Adverbs
Adverbs give the information about verbs,
adjectives or other adverbs.
Adverbs tell us how (manner), where (place),
when (time), how often (frequency), or how
much (intensity) something happens or is
done.
Adverbs can be a single word (sometimes) or a
phrase (from time to time)
 How adverbs are used....
• Manner
Are often formed by ending –ly to the adjective
form:
Adverbs usually come after the verb (and object,
if there is one)

I plan my trips very carefully

NOT I plan very carefully my trips
• Place usually comes after the verbs
It was the first time I had been there
Try to stay near the old part of the city.

• Time can go at the beginning or the end of a

clause.
I had a very memorable trip last year.
OR Last year I had a very memorable trip.
• Frequency usually come before the verb but after
be or an auxilliary verb.
I often travel for my job.
I have always enjoyed my visits there.
I am never late to teach.

• Intensity affect the strength of adjectives or adverbs

Fairly very extremely totally
Quite highly reallyabsolutely
 The order of Adverbs
When two or more adverbs are used together at
the end of a clause the order is usually
manner + place + time

I’ll meet you outside the station at six o’clock

place time
 Irreguler Adverb
• The most common irregular adverbs are:
adj adv
good well
fast fast
hard hard
late late
early early
daily daily
 Conjuction
A conjunction is a part of speech that is used to
connect words, phrases, clauses, or sentences.
 Types of Conjunctions

There are several different types of conjunctions that do various jobs within
sentence structures. These include:

• Subordinating conjunctions – Also known as subordinators, these

conjunctions join dependent clauses to independent clauses.
• Coordinating conjunction – Also known as coordinators, these conjunctions
coordinate or join two or more sentences, main clauses, words, or other
parts of speech which are of the same syntactic importance.
• Correlative conjunction – These conjunctions correlate, working in pairs to
join phrases or words that carry equal importance within a sentence.
• Conjunctive adverbs – While some instructors do not teach conjunctive
adverbs alongside conjunctions, these important parts of speech are worth a
mention here. These adverbs always connect one clause to another, and are
used to show sequence, contrast, cause and effect, and other relationships.
