Adjectives and adverbs in English

• Pre-Intermediate

  Rule for the formation of adverbs

  Adjectives and adverbs are perhaps the most relaxing section of English grammar. Nothing at all: the degrees of comparison and the order of adjectives, but we don’t have to talk about adverbs at all. After all, the main difficulty with them is their formation from adjectives. But it is also easily overcome: Add -ly to the adjective, and here is an adverb!

  But that was not the case. First, there are words that sound the same as an adjective and as an adverb, that is, you do not need to add -ly to them. Secondly, there are some adverbs that have 2 forms: one is the same as the original adjective, and the second is c -ly. However, both of these forms differ in meaning.

  But there are few such adverbs, so remembering them, as a rule, is not difficult. So, adjectives that do not need to be changed in any way to make them an adverb (the asterisk indicates those adjectives to which -ly can be added, but the resulting adverb will sound more formal than without - ly). By the way, you can notice for yourself that in most cases you used these adverbs with -ly:

  • Best - better / better
  • Better - better (adjective), better (adverb)
  • Big - big, much
  • Cheap* - expensive, expensive
  • Clean* - clean, clean
  • Clear* - clear/clear
  • Close * - close, close
  • Cold - cold, cold
  • Daily - daily, daily. (In general, all adjectives ending in -ly have the same adverb form. After all, you can’t add the second -ly !)
  • Dead - dead, tightly
  • Dear *- expensive, expensive
  • Deep - deep, deep
  • Direct - straight, straight
  • Dirty - dirty, dirty
  • Early - early, early
  • Easy - light, easy
  • Extra - extra, extra
  • Far - far away
  • Fast - fast, fast
  • Fine* - good, good
  • Free - free, free
  • Further
  • Hard - heavy, hard
  • High - high, high
  • Hourly - hourly, hourly
  • Inside - inside, inside
  • Kindly - good-natured, good-natured
  • Last - last, later than all
  • Late - late, late
  • Long - longest, longest of all
  • Loud * - loud, loud
  • Low - low, low
  • Monthly - monthly, monthly
  • Past - past, past
  • Quick* - quick, quick
  • Quiet* Quiet
  • Right - correct, correct
  • Slow *- slow
  • Straight - straight, straight
  • Sure
  • Thin* - thin

  • Tight - tight
  • Weekly - weekly, weekly
  • Well - good, good
  • Wide - wide, wide
  • Wrong - wrong, wrong
  • Yearly

Synopsis

1. Distinctive features of adjectives

We know that every word in the language refers to one or another part of speech. By what signs can an adjective be distinguished from other parts of speech?

1. Adjectives answer questions what? whose?
2. Adjectives designate a feature of an object
3. Adjectives refer to nouns and agree with them in number and case, and in the singular in gender

Now we have named the common features of adjectives.

2. Classes of adjectives

Adjectives have properties that allow us to divide them into three large groups. Or, as we say, discharges.

Let's choose adjectives for the word pencil.

Slim,

small,

beautiful

wooden,

plastic.

If we asked Masha's sister for a pencil, we can say that it is Machines or sisters .

Look at the last adjectives. They answer the question whose? Such adjectives are called possessive . They indicate that an object belongs to someone.

Adjectives that we named first ( thin, small, beautiful ) - quality . They denote the qualities of an object, that is, those features that can be manifested in an object to a greater or lesser extent. It can be color, size, shape, and so on.

Adjectives of the second group ( wooden, plastic ) are called relative . They denote a sign of an object that cannot be expressed to a greater or lesser extent. These adjectives denote the material from which the object is made, the sign of the object by time or place of its existence, the sign of the object by purpose, and more. When using such adjectives in phrases, we can easily replace them with nouns.

Example:

Wooden house - wooden house

Winter day - winter day

3. How to determine the category of an adjective?

Determining which category an adjective belongs to is quite simple. To do this, perform the following algorithm:

1. Ask the question:

If the adjective answers the question whose? , we have a possessive adjective.

But if the adjective answers question what? , go to the next step.

2. From the name of the adjective form a short form or any degree of comparison.

If you succeed, then we have a quality adjective.

And if not, then relative.

Let's try to determine the ranks of adjectives from the quatrain:

From the evil wolf -

In earthy crack.

According to cold dew -

K cunning fox.

For convenience, we can put adjectives in the nominative singular.

Evil (which one?). We are trying to form degrees of comparison: is meaner, the most evil.

So we have a quality adjective.

Ground ( what? ). We are trying to form degrees of comparison. One mink cannot be more earthy than another. Yes, and a short form from this adjective will not work. We have a relative adjective.

Adjectives cold and cunning are also qualitative, because they answer the question which one? and from them it is possible to form degrees of comparison ( is the coldest, the most tricky is ).

Is it possible to determine the category of adjectives by morphemic composition? Sometimes you can. The fact is that the suffixes an, yang, enne are used when we form adjectives from nouns denoting material, substance. These will be relative adjectives: leather en

But if there are no suffixes in the adjective, then we have a quality adjective. For example , fast .

Adjectives of all three categories can move from one category to another. But only if they are used in a figurative sense. For example:

Gold ring . In this case, the adjective golden is relative. But in the phrase the golden character is adjective gold would be quality, as it denotes the quality of a person.

Wolf mouth . In this case, we have a possessive adjective. But in the phrase wolf coat , this adjective acts as a relative, because it indicates the material from which the object is made.

Some relative adjectives were so often used in speech in the meaning of qualitative ones that they gradually completely lost their original meaning and are now perceived by us in modern Russian only as qualitative ones. For example, adjectives stormy, outrageous and many others.

4. Qualitative adjectives

Qualitative adjectives differ from relative and possessive ones at all language levels.

1. Denote a feature that can manifest itself in an object to a greater or lesser extent

2. May have antonyms: evil / good

3. Always non-derivative

But possessive and relative are always derivative, i.e. are formed from nouns, adjectives, verbs.

4. Nouns of abstract meaning can be formed from qualitative adjectives: severity

And adverbs in - about : strictly .

Adjectives with subjective evaluation suffixes: blue, furious .

5. Only they can have degrees of comparison and short form

6. Only they can be combined with adverbs of measure and degree: very large, very strict

5. Formation of relative and possessive adjectives

Relative adjectives are formed from nouns, verbs and adverbs. The most common suffixes for their formation are suffixes - l - for example, fluent ; -sk - for example, human ; - in - - poplar ; - ov - – hedgehog ; - n- - forest .

Possessive adjectives are formed only from nouns. With the help of suffixes - - - fox , - ov - - fathers , - in - - mother .

The whiteness of the snow made the new paws turn green even more fiercely. The steam of the uncold lowlands rose to the level of tree tops and scattered on birch branches. Countless drops of tiny beads sparkled on the sun. The frost began to slowly shave everything that had at least a small fraction of moisture. The forest river, which only yesterday was running towards the blizzard, began (s, h) to crush with silver teeth. Transparent ice confidently poured into the middle of the jet, squeezing the water current carrying a crushing shell. And everything around be (s, h) shone noisily, sparkled, sparkled. But, barely having time to warm up, our great light began to blush and fall on the distant forest tops. Lilac wings, passing into the depths of the dark expanse, descended lower and lower. In the constellation of Gemini, the awakened Mars, the god of the Roman pagans, the patron of wars and conflagrations, flashed with a reddish eye.
