What does an adjective modify? What does an adverb modify? This is easy. Find the phrase... Ask what it describes/modifies and determine your answer. A temple of great size stood here. I noticed some men with heavy suitcases. An adjective phrase usually comes AFTER the word it modifies. A prepositional phrase is an adverb phrase when it modifies, or describes a verb, adverb, or adjective. Adverb Phrases Describing a verb The tourists travel in a group. Describing an adjective The temple is impressive from this view. Describing an adverb It has held up well for its age. How they function... When? They left the hotel in the morning. Where? The curious visitors went to Japan. How? The large group traveled by airplane.

Both...and Either...or Neither...nor Not only...but also Examples exist in both Ireland and Greece. Either Edde or Jacob will enter the race. When a compound subject is joined by AND, it is usually plural. The verb MUST agree with the plural subject. Winema and Tanya are in Madrid this week. When a compound subject is joined by or or nor, the verb must agree with the nearest part of the subject. Neither the twins nor Ann is studying Spanish. Exercises 6 and 7 ODD only Conjunctive is a different part of speech of the word CONJUNCITON. Conjunctive Adverb = adverb that “quacks” like a conjunction You can use special types of adverbs instead of a coordinating or correlative conjunction to join simple sentences in a compound sentence. These are usually stronger and more precise than coordinating conjunctions. Using Conjunctive Adverbs To replace AND Also, besides, furthermore, moreover To replace BUT However, nevertheless, still To state a result Consequently, therefore, so, thus To state equality Equally, likewise, similarly With conjunctive adverbs Chinese cooks often stir-fry their food; therefore, they must cut it into very small pieces. Stir-frying should be done quickly; the wok must be very hot, therefore. Vegetables cook more quickly than meat; they must, therefore, be added to the wok last.
