Adjectives & Adverbs

Adjectives

-  Bijvoegelijke naamwoorden

- Zeggen iets over een zelfstandig naamwoord: 
   the careful driver, the angry teacher, a beautiful dress

- Soms twee vormen: 
   This job is boring / interesting / tiring / annoying (= over ding)
   I am bored / interested / tired / annoyed (= over persoon)

Adverbs

- Bijwoorden
- Zeggen iets over werkwoorden, bijvoegelijke naamwoorden, 
   en andere woorden (alles behalve zelfstandige naamwoorden)

    she drove carefully, it rained heavily,
    incredibly quickly, surprisingly easy

- Adverbs maak je door -ly achter het bijvoeglijk naamwoord te 
   zetten  (quick > quickly, careful > carefully)

Uitzonderingen

- Je gebruikt ook adjectives i.p.v. adverbs bij werkwoorden zoals
   be / feel / look / taste / sound / smell / seem
   I am tired, she is hungry, you look tired, you smell nice

- Een aantal adverbs maak je niet met -ly: 
   good > well          the good dog, you did well
   fast > fast             the fast car, he ran fast                 ('hardly' =
   hard > hard          the hard test, he tried hard          nauwelijks)
