 Hello everyone, this is Mr. P. On today's lesson, we're going to look at the difference between adjectives and adverbs. Is it real? Or really? Let's find out. Okay, what are adjectives? An adjective is a word that modifies or describes a noun or a noun phrase. Don't forget that adjectives don't have plurals and don't have masculine or feminine. They stay the same. Let's look at some examples. A big house. Yes, big is the adjective right there, like that picture. A passionate love. Okay, so passionate is the adjective. Love is the noun. Lots of crunchy, cold ice cream. A long weekend. Okay, long is the other adjective. Weekend is the noun, obviously. So let's look at other examples. The handsome man lay on the red couch. Okay, a gorgeous young lady is interviewing a man. I can see that. Yeah, yeah. That passionate love for her made his life miserable. Then we have passionate here and miserable, obviously, as adjectives. Adverbs. An adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Let's look at examples. I usually work on Saturdays. Okay, usually is an adverb of time. He walks fast. Adverb of manner. Fast. So fast modifies the verb. Walk, in this case. It is a very interesting lesson. Very is an adverb modifying an adjective. Interesting. Interesting what? Lesson. Lesson is the noun. It is almost always busy. Almost always they are adverbs. Always is an adverb of time. Modifying what? Modifying an adjective. Busy. Examples. Yes, the example. That sailor always walks fast. I can see that. He's walking fast. He is usually very busy. Easy. Oh my god, he's a really busy boy. Look at that. Okay, usually is an adverb of time. Very is an adverb modifying busy an adjective. Always we said also is an adverb of time. Fast is an adverb of manner. Modifying walk. So what sounds right is not always correct. Always is an adverb of time. That's right. Correct is an ad, is a, yes, is an adjective. Let's look at this example. Kenny thinks that he's really cool. Okay, so we have really the adverb cool is the adjective. Some people say Kenny thinks that he's real cool. Well, real is slang. We should never say that. Really needs to modify an adjective like cool. Okay. Real is a noun also. Now let's do some exercise and let's take a look at the sample item. So we have the sentence and then we have to choose among four choices. A, B, C or D. Like in this example, Jacob ate slow, chewing his food thoroughly. His mother was really impressed since she often accused him of bolting dinner. So we have to maybe modify the adverb or the adjective. In this case we have adverbs. What do you think? A, B, C or D? Well, let me think. I think, yes, slowly. A, Jacob ate slowly, not slow, slowly. How did he eat? Slowly is an adverb, modifying the verb. So item number one, I give you a few minutes to look at the sentence. Maybe you can pause and you will get your answer when you finish. So yes, the answer is A, poorly, not poor. Farzana did poorly on her algebra quiz. She couldn't concentrate well because her table mate was chomping noisily on a piece of gum. Poorly, modifying the verb did. Number two, okay. Very happy with his aim. What do you think? Five seconds. There? Very happy, no change. Very good. Very is an adverb, modifying the adjective happy. So Lawrence cheated on the chemistry test, but he's still a very happy with his aim. Item number three. Okay, I give you just five seconds. Yes, and the answer is yes, is A. Okay, modifying the adjective long, long school. Now, item number four. What is the answer? Let's see. What do you have? Yes, bitterly is B. The answer is B. So complain how bitterly. Adverb. Be careful with this. This is your last exercise. Okay, what do you think? A, B or C? Yes, and the answer is A. Remember that you have to pay attention to the words around the, in this case, the adverb. Also the adjectives, you have to pay attention to them. If they are near a noun, okay, then that is an adjective. If they are near a verb, then that may be an adverb. So you have to, like here, like in this example, we have loud barks. So loud is an adjective and what you need before an adjective is an adverb, not another adjective. Yes, there could be another adjective, but you have to look at the whole sentence together to make sense. So that's how you learn.
