Good to know...

Do you ever find yourself talking about actions and wanting to give more information about them? 

If you do, are you able to express yourself? 

This is where this flashcard will come in handy!

Today you will learn:

- About word order for adverbs and verbs 

- The mistakes to avoid 

- …and some interesting trivia!

Don't forget!

Adverbs give more information about verbs.

=> He drove quickly => He quickly drove to the store => Quickly, he drove her to the hospital.

Explanations & Examples

What are verbs?

=> doing and being words

What are adverbs?

=> words that give more information about verbs

Take this sentence: I eat.

=> it is easy to understand what is happening, but how is it happening?

=> this is where adverbs help.

I eat quickly.

She eats slowly.

They eat reluctantly.

You eat greedily.

Does the word order have to be like this?

=> No. BUT often we would need to add more information.

I quickly eat, grab my bag, and go.

Is that it?

=> No! You can also put the adverb at the front for emphasis. Again, we would need to add more information.

Slowly, I ate the pasta, enjoying every bite.

Can you add any more information?

=> Yes. You can add information about frequency.

I always eat slowly.

Let's use one more example: She sings.

She sings confidently.

She sings quickly.

She sings badly.

She sings well.

She quietly sang along, so nobody would hear her.

Confidently, she sang the national anthem as everyone stood silently.

She never sings well.

Look out!

LOOK OUT! It isn't always possible to use all word orders for adverb/verb combinations. If in doubt, check, or use the subject – verb – adverb order.

He drinks quickly.

They play noisily.

Did you know?

The loudest shout a human is capable of can reach 70 decibels. A blue whale's rumbles can reach a volume of 188 decibels though. That's louder than a jet's 140 decibels!
