Unit 11. 5. Adjectives and adverbs.
Remember my little children that adjectives modify nouns and adverbs modify verbs. Many
adverbs are formed by adding “ly” to the adjective. A few words like for example, fast, hard, late,
and low, take the same form as both adjectives and adverbs. Write the correct form, adjective or
adverb, in the blanks.
Examples: She sees him at work (frequent). The correct form is frequently. He is a (frequent) client
to her bakery. The correct form is frequent.
1. Sophie is a (beautiful) girl. beautiful
2. She plays the piano (beautiful). beautifully
3. Miss Wolf always speaks very (soft). softly
4. The cake is very (soft). soft
5. Anne always prepares her lessons (careful). carefully
6. She is also a (careful) cook. careful
7. The children studied (hard) for their exams. hard
8. He didn’t want to wake up the children, so he opened the door (quiet).quietly
6. Complete the blanks with a, an, the or zero (0).
A little note: Remember we use zero article (0) with plural nouns or with uncountable nouns and
to speak about things in general. Also, we use the zero article with towns and cities, most
countries, with “by” + a means of transportation, with times + days and with some phrases like for
example, go to work/at home, most people We use it to about things in general.
We use the indefinite article (a/an) before countable singular nouns and with jobs. a/an=one, but
we don’t know which one. We also use a/an, when this is the first time we are speaking about
something.
We use the definite article (the) before nouns when it is clear that the speaker is talking about
something specific or something which we know. We also use it with time of day (but we say “at
night”).
