ResponderEliminarAdverbs of Time
ResponderEliminarWe use adverbs of time to tell us when an event happened. They are also used to tell us how long an event lasted and how often it happens.
For Example:
I RARELY see my parents.
They have ALREADY left.
I've been working here SINCE 2005
'It's been snowing SINCE I got here.
Adverbs of Manner
ResponderEliminarSome adverbs tell us how an action is or should be performed.
Often these adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the end of an adjective.
-Adjectives ending -l add -ly; careful-carefully.
-Adjectives ending -y change to -ily; lucky-luckily
-Adjectives ending -ble change to -bly; responsible-responsibly
-Adjectives ending -ic change to -ally; tragic-tragically
Exceptions:
-Adjective good change to well.
-Fast, late, straight, early y hard keep the ‘shape’ for the adjective and the adverb.
Examples:
-The little girl ran quickly.
-The tortoise walked slowly.
-The music played loudly.
-A banana peels easily.
-He works hard.
Adjective Adverb
Anxious--------Anxiously
Bad------------Badly
Beautiful------Beautifully
Adverbs of degree:
ResponderEliminarAdverbs of degree tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb. Many adverbs are gradable, that is, we can intensify them. Basically they answer the sort of question that asks How much ...? or How little...?
Common adverbs of degree:
Almost, nearly, quite, just, too, enough, hardly, scarcely, completely, very, extremely.
Adverbs of degree are usually placed:
1)Before the adjective or adverb they are modifying:
Ex: The water was extremely cold.
2)Before the main verb:
Ex: He was just leaving. She has almost finished.
Examples:
•She doesn't quite know what she'll do after university.
•They are completely exhausted from the trip.
•I am too tired to go out tonight.
•He hardly noticed what she was saying.
These intensifiers are not gradable though, you cannot say “The man drove extremely very badly.”
I dont see any question so I bet everything is clear, Isn´t it?

We use relative clauses to give additional information about something without starting another sentence. By combining sentences with a relative clause, your text becomes more fluent and you can avoid repeating certain words.
ResponderEliminarThey replace the more formal structure of preposition + which in a relative clause:
where, when, why
Examples:
That's the restaurant where we met for the first time.
(where = at/in which)
I remember the day when we first met.
(when = on which)
There was a very hot summer the year when he was born.
(when = in which)
Tell me (the reason) why you were late home.
(why = for which, but could replace the whole phrase 'the reason for which')
VIEWPOINT AND COMMENTING ADVERBS
ResponderEliminarThere are some adverbs and adverbial expressions which tell us about the speaker's viewpoint or opinion about an action, or make some comment on the action.
Viewpoint
Frankly, I think he is a liar. (= this is my frank, honest opinion)
Theoretically, you should pay a fine. (= from a theoretical point of view but there may be another way of looking at the situation)
These adverbs are placed at the beginning of the sentence and are separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.
Some common Viewpoint adverbs:
honestly, seriously, confidentially, personally, surprisingly, ideally, economically, officially, obviously, clearly, surely, undoubtedly.
Commenting
These are very similar to viewpoint adverbs, and often the same words, but they go in a different position - after the verb to be and before the main verb.
She is certainly the best person for the job.
You obviously enjoyed your meal.
ADVERBS ODF CERTANTY
ResponderEliminarThese adverbs express how certain or sure we feel about an action or event.
Common adverbs of certainty:
certainly, definitely, probably, undoubtedly, surely
Adverbs of certainty go before the main verb but after the verb 'to be':
He definitely left the house this morning.
He is probably in the park.
With other auxiliary verb, these adverbs go between the auxiliary and the main verb:
He has certainly forgotten the meeting.
He will probably remember tomorrow.
Sometimes these adverbs can be placed at the beginning of the sentence:
Undoubtedly, Winston Churchill was a great politician.
BE CAREFUL! with surely. When it is placed at the beginning of the sentence, it means the speaker thinks something is true, but is looking for confirmation:
Example:
Surely you've got a bicycle?
