Adjective/Adverb Flashcards

Which sentence uses an adverb correctly?

Answer: She sings beautifully.

Adverbs modify verbs, so 'beautifully' (not the adjective 'beautiful') correctly describes how she sings.

Choose the correct comparative adjective: 'This road is _____ than the other one.'

Answer: Both A and B are correct

Both 'more narrow' and 'narrower' are acceptable comparative forms of 'narrow.'

Which word is an adjective in this sentence? 'The elderly man walked slowly down the quiet street.'

Answer: elderly

'Elderly' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'man.'

Identify the adverb: 'He almost never arrives on time.'

Answer: Both A and B

Both 'almost' (modifying 'never') and 'never' (modifying 'arrives') are adverbs.

Which sentence contains an adjective used as a predicate adjective?

Answer: The dog looks tired.

In 'The dog looks tired,' 'tired' follows a linking verb and describes the subject — making it a predicate adjective.

Which option correctly completes the sentence? 'She did ___ on the test than her brother.'

Answer: better

'Better' is the correct irregular comparative form of the adverb 'well.'

What is wrong with this sentence? 'The soup smells badly.'

Answer: 'Badly' should be 'bad' because 'smells' is a linking verb

After a linking verb like 'smells,' use the adjective 'bad,' not the adverb 'badly.'
