Adverbs in English.

Even those who claim that the English language is complex, can not help but agree that adverbs in English is incredibly easy to understand.They just built, and exceptions to the rules are very few.

What is an adverb?

impossible to begin construction of an explanation of adverbs without understanding what it is all about.We, the Russian-speaking people, it is easy to learn how to use this part of the question first of all because in Russian there are already similar words that are built on the same principle.

Turning to Russian dialect, it is a sign of the action of the subject, its quality and condition.It answers the following questions: how?when?Why?how?where?Where?how long? adverb can refer to the adjective, and even another adverb, describing their symptoms.In short, this part of the speech - very capacious, without the Russian language would be considerably poorer.

English adverbs

Use adverbs is not a very difficult task, because we are an excellent job with her native language.Adverbs in English does not differ radically from the Russian "brothers", so their absorption of highly affordable and does not require great effort.

All adverbs in English are divided into three main groups, namely: simple (consisting of one word that you just need to learn, as well as any other British), esters and derivatives.Let us examine them in detail.

Types of adverbs in English

• Simple adverbs are represented by a single word, and they do not need to add any suffixes and endings, for example: often, now, never .
• Derivative adverbs or adverb, education by adding a suffix or termination.These suffixes are: ly, ward (s), like .For example, cold + ly - coldly coldly, slow + ly - slowly - slowly. Examples of other suffixes as follows: backwards-back, clockwise-clockwise.
• complex dialect consisting of two words that are written, either separately or together.For example, sometimes - sometimes, everywhere -vezde, everybody-all, everyone, forever-forever.

examining table, you will realize that there is nothing easier than an adverb in English!Table presented below.

Exceptions

words that are strongly reminiscent of an adverb, is still available in English.However, there are not many, and they are easy to remember.

example, the word hardly very much like an adverb, but in fact means "almost", while the word hard is a simple dialect translates as "hard".

Also, there are a number of words that look just like adjectives, but in fact are adverbs.These include the following words: friendly -druzhelyubny, silly - silly, lovely - cute, olderly - old.

legitimate question arises: how not to get confused and begin to use speech instead of an adverb adjective and vice versa?

In fact, everything is very simple: you have only to remember that in the English language are all very well, and every word has its place in the sentence.If the word is in doubt, it stands in front of a noun, an adjective, it is, if it is before the verb, then - adverb.For a visual understanding of the present examples:

They are so freindly people! - They are such friendly people! In this case, describes a noun, means friendly is the adjective.

He is driving very quickly - he is driving very quickly. In this example quickly describes a verb, as in turn, adverb.

adverb as a circumstance

Adverbs can divide not only in their structure but also on the mind of the fact that they are expressed.

• Time adverbs express the temporal characteristics, for example: now - now, at once, seldom-rare. Adverbs of time in the English language are responsible for the temporal indicators and are a very important part of the speech.
• Adverbs indicating the location: behind - behind, there - there, here - here.
• Adverbs describing how the particular action: loadly - loud, sadly - sadly, quietly - quietly.
• Adverbs describing the amount and degree: little - a little, quite - quite.

Without these words it would look shabby and poorly, but, fortunately, they do exist and are decorated very English!

Match adverbs and adjectives

Very often adverbs completely similar to adjectives, differing only in their place in the sentence, which also helps to determine in this case is in front of us.

example, cheap - is both an adjective ("cheap") and an adverb ("cheap").

Consider examples:

• This car was very cheap.- This car was very cheap.In this case, cheap refers to the noun, respectively, as an adjective.
• I have eaten very cheap - I ate very cheaply. The proposal describes the effect of cheap and is an adverb.

Compare adverbs

turns, English dialect can also be compared, as well as adjectives.

operating principle is the same, namely, there are also two degrees of comparison - comparative and superlative, which are formed in the same way as in the case of adjectives.Is not it a gift?

• comparative degree can be obtained by adding to the adverb ending -er, if the word is simple.For example, hard + -er - harder .And of course, an example of the sentence: You should study harder and harde to learn French. - To learn French, you should study harder and harder.If adverb long, then added more .For example: You look more happily than yesterday.- You look happier than yesterday.
• Superlative is formed by analogy with the same degree, adjectives like - namely, adding the ending -est for short words and most - for long.For example: he has run the fastest - He ran all the faster. Just do not forget about the definite article the !His presence certainly before superlatives.
• However, even here there are exceptions.Consider them as a table:

As the table shows, all exceptions almost exactly repeated exceptions degrees of comparison of adjectives.

Adverbs in English can and must memorize and apply them for better assimilation.
