Learn English Adjective/Adverb 2

Question 1

Which sentence uses an adverb correctly?

Accepted Answer

She sings beautifully.

Answer

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.'

Accepted Answer

Both A and B are correct

Answer

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.'

Accepted Answer

elderly

Answer

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

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Both A and B

Answer

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

Question 5

Which sentence contains an adjective used as a predicate adjective?

The dog looks tired.
