Adjectives and Adverbs (add to SVOPT)
Adjectives
Used to give more information about a noun. You put them before a noun.

Sometimes adjectives are placed after certain linking verbs like to be, to look, to appear, to seem
I look amazing in my new dress. We are serious about our career. He seems nice in interviews.
Adverbs
Says something about the frequency or the way in which something happens.
Adverbs of frequency are placed before the main verb but after to be. Other adverbs are usually placed after the main verb. Most Adverbs are made by adding -ly to the adjective.
I never watched a horror film by myself. We usually watch the news on the couch. She sings beautifully.
An adverb can also say something about an adjective or another adverb.
That actress is extremely beautiful. I went to a very bad concert yesterday. She sang incredibly well.
