UNIT 1  Meaning, classification and creation

1. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb as in She dances beautifully , an adjective (She looked somewhat pale), an adverb (She knew him very wel l) or a noun (He is such a monster! ) .

 

2. Most adverbs modify a verb and tell us how ( adverbs of manner ), when ( adverbs of time ), where ( adverbs of place ) or how often ( adverbs of frequency ) a certain action takes place: A turtle crawls slowly. We will eat later. Go there. He often visits us.

 

Adverbs of degree make the meaning of a verb, an adjective, adverb or noun stronger or weaker: I like the book very much ; I completely forgot about it; she is incredibly beautiful; he is smoking very heavily; he is such a bore!

 

Sentence adverbs refer to the whole phrase to show what the speaker thinks about the whole utterance ( Unfortunately, nobody saw him do it).

3. Many adverbs, especially adverbs of manner, are formed from adjectives by adding – ly: theoretical ly, complete ly, nice ly and scarce ly .

Adjectives that end in –ly (cost ly, friend ly, like ly, live ly, love ly, lone ly, sil ly, ug ly ) do not have related adverbial forms and to express manner they use such adjectival word combinations as in a friend ly way, in a live ly manner.

 

Many adverbs are simple or compound and do not end in – ly: now, very, yet; nowhere, inside, tenfold. Some of them coincide with adjectives in form as fast, often, long, straight, far, near.

 

Some adverbs have two forms – with and without -ly : late and lately, near and nearly, hard and hardly, high and highly, deep and deeply. But usually they differ in meaning (cf.: He came late ‘поздно’ and I haven’t seen him lately ‘последнее время’; He lives quite near ‘близко’ and It’s nearly ‘почти’ 6 o’clock; He works hard ‘усердно’ and He hardly ‘вряд-ли’ ever works properly; The plane flew very high ‘высоко’ and They have a highly ‘весьма, в высшей степени’ developed industry).

 

There are also some adverbs that have two forms – one with – ly ending and one without the – ly ending and no difference in meaning. Adjectives that are commonly used in this way include: cheap, quick, slow, kind, real. Usually, however, the longer form with – ly is preferred, especially for writing: Don’t talk so loud/loud ly .(See Unit 4).
