Learn English Adjective/Adverb 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which sentence uses an adverb correctly?
- She sings beautiful.
- She sings beautifully. (Correct answer)
- She sings beauty.
- She sings beauteous.
Correct answer: She sings beautifully.
Adverbs modify verbs, so 'beautifully' (not the adjective 'beautiful') correctly describes how she sings.
Question 2: Choose the correct comparative adjective: 'This road is _____ than the other one.'
- more narrow
- narrower
- most narrow
- Both A and B are correct (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Both A and B are correct
Both 'more narrow' and 'narrower' are acceptable comparative forms of 'narrow.'
Question 3: Which word is an adjective in this sentence? 'The elderly man walked slowly down the quiet street.'
- walked
- slowly
- elderly (Correct answer)
- down
Correct answer: elderly
'Elderly' is an adjective that modifies the noun 'man.'
Question 4: Identify the adverb: 'He almost never arrives on time.'
- almost
- never
- arrives
- Both A and B (Correct answer)
Correct answer: Both A and B
Both 'almost' (modifying 'never') and 'never' (modifying 'arrives') are adverbs.
Question 5: Which sentence contains an adjective used as a predicate adjective?
- The tired dog slept.
- The dog looks tired. (Correct answer)
- The dog tiredly walked.
- The dog's tired eyes closed.
Correct answer: The dog looks tired.
In 'The dog looks tired,' 'tired' follows a linking verb and describes the subject — making it a predicate adjective.
Question 6: Which option correctly completes the sentence? 'She did ___ on the test than her brother.'
- more good
- gooder
- better (Correct answer)
- more better
Correct answer: better
'Better' is the correct irregular comparative form of the adverb 'well.'
Question 7: What is wrong with this sentence? 'The soup smells badly.'
- 'Smells' should be 'smell'
- 'Badly' should be 'bad' because 'smells' is a linking verb (Correct answer)
- Nothing is wrong
- 'The' should be removed
Correct 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.'
