Adjective or Adverb?

Introduction

Adjectives such as beautiful, nice, and red describe nouns. Adverbs such

as quickly, badly, or warmly describe verbs. This page will explain the differences
between them, and show you how to make adverbs from adjectives.

1. Using adjectives and adverbs

 Adjective Adverb Example

  beautifully Ann sings beautifully.

  warmly Joe smiles warmly.

slow   The car is slow.

2. Making adverbs from adjectives

Adverbs are usually made from adjectives by adding -LY. These are the rules:

Adjective ending in... How to make the adverb Examples

heavy - heavily
Change Y to I and add -
y happy - happily
LY
lazy - lazily

warm - warmly
[anything else] Just add -LY nice - nicely
loud - loudly

There are some important exceptions:

 Comparatives and Superlatives of
Adjectives

Introduction

Comparatives and Superlatives are special forms of adjectives. They are used to

compare two or more things. Generally, comparatives are formed using -er and
superlatives are formed using -est. This page will explain the rules for forming
regular comparatives and superlatives, and also show some basic ways of using
them.

Forming comparatives and superlatives

How these forms are created depends on how many syllables there are in the
adjective. Syllables are like “sound beats”. For instance, “sing” contains one
syllable, but “singing” contains two — sing and ing. Here are the rules.

Adjective form Comparative Superlative

Add -ST:
Only one syllable, ending in E. Add -R:
widest, finest,
Examples: wide, fine, cute wider, finer, cuter
cutest

Double the
Double the
Only one syllable, with one vowel consonant, and
consonant, and add
and one consonant at the end. add -EST:
-ER:
Examples: hot, big, fat hottest, biggest,
hotter, bigger, fatter
fattest

Only one syllable, with more than Add -ER: Add -EST:
one vowel or more than one lighter, neater, lightest, neatest,
consonant at the end.
 Adjective form Comparative Superlative

Examples: light, neat, fast faster fastest

Change Y to I, then Change Y to I, then

Two syllables, ending in Y. add -ER: add -EST:
Examples: happy, silly, lonely happier, sillier, happiest, silliest,
lonelier loneliest

Use MORE before the Use MOST before

Two syllables or more, not ending
adjective: the adjective:
in Y.
more modern, more most modern,
Examples: modern, interesting,
interesting, more most interesting,
beautiful
beautiful most beautiful

How to use comparatives and superlatives

Comparatives are used to compare two things. You can use

sentences with THAN, or you can use a conjunction like BUT.
Examples:
Comparatives

 Jiro is taller than Yukio.

 Yukio is tall, but Jiro is taller.

Superlatives are used to compare more than two things.

Superlative sentences usually use THE, because there is only one
superlative. Examples:
Superlatives

 Masami is the tallest in the class.

 Yukio is tall, and Jiro is taller, but Masami is the tallest.
When you are sure that you understand the lesson, you can continue with the
exercise.

 Count and Non-Count Nouns

This lesson and the exercise use food vocabulary. Learn food vocabulary in
the Level 200 Vocabulary topics.

Countable Nouns

Some words take an ‘s’ when you talk about more than one. These words are
called count or countable nouns.

Example

1 apple  

2 apples 

Uncountable Nouns (Non-Count)

Other words do not take an ‘s’ when you talk about more than one. These words
are called non-count or uncountable nouns.

Example

1 piece of cheese   

2 pieces of cheese 

The word “food” is a non-count noun.

Example

I like food.

Making Questions

Introduction

There are many different ways to form questions. We will look at two kinds of
questions. One is called a yes / no question and the other is called a WH-
question.

Yes / No Questions

A yes / no question is a question that can be answered with yes or no. Yes / no

questions can be formed using the words is / are or do / does.

The most common type of yes / no question is formed by putting a to be verb (for
example, is or are) at the beginning of a question.

Making a Question with a “To Be” Verb

Example (be-verb: IS)

Statement Question Answers

Elliot is reading a Is Elliot reading a Yes, he is.

book. book? No, he isn't.

Example (be-verb: ARE)
 Statement Question Answers

They are from Yes, they are.

Are they from Greece?
Greece. No, they are not.

Another common type of yes / no question is formed by adding do or does at the

beginning of a sentence.

The form of this kind of yes / no question is: Do / Does + subject +verb*

Making a Question with “Do” or “Does”

Statement Question Answers

Do you eat breakfast at 7 Yes, I do.

I eat breakfast at 7 a.m.
a.m.? No, I don't.

Yes, I do.

It takes* an hour to walk Does it take an hour to walk Yes, it does.

home. home? No, it doesn't.
* Note that the -s is never added to the verb when using do / does in a question.

WH- Questions

Questions can ask for information. You ask for information using WH-
question words (who, what, where, how, whose, why, and when).

WH- questions have a different structure when "who" is the subject.

Information Questions

Where is the Where question word + The hotel is on

hotel? Information auxiliary verb + Douglas Street.
