[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am an ESOL teacher and ironically, my lesson tomorrow from my 3rd grade ESOL book is on adverbs. The book describes adverbs as words that describe when, where or how things happen. Once, then, later, first, suddenly, away, close are all adverbs.[/quote] More simply, an adverb modifies a verb. The fox ran [b]quickly.[/b] [b]Suddenly[/b], he had to leave. Put it [b]away.[/b] This is opposed to an adjective which modifies a noun. The [b]green[/b] jacket was [b]heavy.[/b] The [b]angry[/b] poster pounded keyboard. Just to educate the person who makes 400K per year. It is really necessary to know grammar if you are learning a foreign language by the second language classroom method (as opposed to immersion). It is helpful if you are trying to learn the correct formal use of the language. [/quote]
