Adjectives and Adverbs! I've been getting questions and confusions on which is which, even in their clauses. So, I will answer EEVVERRYY question that has to deal with it, but first, to gain better understanding, look at this following essay I made.

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

People tend to get adverbs and adjectives confused and those people are affected by the disease called, ‘adjeverbtosis’ these patients usually assume that one thing is the other, when it really isn’t. Also, it is highly contagious. Why do the victims get these two English genres entangled within another? Well, they both describe similar items. The hard part is, how do you know which is which? During this essay, I will discuss how you can be infected by adjeverbtosis, and how to be cured from it! Adjeverbtosis can come and develop inside the host in a variety of ways; the best tactic is confusion. Say that large and small is describing a noun. What category does large and small falls under, an adjective or adverb? I bet you were confused on how to classify these two adjectives. Yes, I said it adjectives. Now another example. A noun travels in a pace, quickly. Now what does quickly fall under? An adverb. I bet you were stuck on that one too! Not only that these genres can describe similar items! Did you know that adverbs can describe and adjective? Well, now that just makes things a lot more complicated. These tactics also makes it easier to become a victim of this disease! Fear not! A vaccine was just created! All you need to do is to not get confused. How can you do that? Well, it is quite simple. Just keep in mind that an adjective modifies a noun, or a pronoun. They usually answer, what does it look like? What is it doing? What kind? Which? How many? Etc. Example: The tall girl, rode a pink and blue bicycle. You can infer that ‘tall’ is an adjective because it describes the noun, which is the girl. ‘Pink and blue’ is also a noun because it describes the other noun, the bicycle. It describes what it physically looks like. Now an adverb can describe a verb, adjectives, and other adverbs. The most common thing a adverb answers is HOW. However, they can answer why, when and where just as accurately. Example: Amelia painted wonderfully. The adverb described HOW Amelia was painting. Sometimes, an adverb can end in -ly, but that just goes to some cases. Now, you know how to cure this agitating disease! Even though adjectives and adverbs are very similar, you can still tell them apart! Just remember, adjectives modifies nouns and pronouns, and adverbs modifies verbs, other adverbs, and adjectives as well. You can also look for how the words are acting as and what it is supporting. Is it stating what the item looks like? Or how it did an action? You can remember the difference with these tactics!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

No, I am willing to walk them through the process, and ask which answer do they think it is. Either wrong or right, I will tell them the explanation, and have them choose again (if it is 'wrong'.) @M*A*S*H Thank you.
