Adverbs

We are going to have a quick review of adverbs before learning about the last kind of verbals.

What questions do adverbs answer? (How? When? Where? Why? How often? How much? To what extent? Under what conditions?)

Adverbs can be:

Simple (one-word adverb, no suffix) very

Flexional (adjective + ly) quickly ---------flexional can have degrees, like adjectives

Affirmative yes, certainly positive swiftly

Negative no, not, never comparative more swiftly

superlative most swiftly

Verbals: Gerunds

Last week we learned about infinitives being used as nouns, adjectives, and adverbs and participles being used as adjectives. This week we are going to learn about present participles used as nouns. Remember, present participles are verbs ending in –ing. Also, remember a noun is a person, place, thing, activity, or idea. Well, gerunds are typically activity nouns. Here are some examples:

Voting was illegal for all black men. Subject

I love dancing. Direct object

The judges awarded her cooking first prize. Indirect object

By studying, she passed the quiz. Preposition

Her favorite pastime is knitting. Predicate noun

The teacher called his behavior cheating. Object complement noun
