Adjectives for Countable and Uncountable nouns

Adjectives for Countable and Uncountable nouns  

* Some adjectives that describe the quantity of the nouns answer the question ‘How much?’ They cannot be replaced by a number if the nouns are uncountable.

Example:     

1. I want a little rice.

   I want two rice is incorrect.

* However, adjectives of quantity like some, many, much, any, no can be used both as adjectives of quantity as well as number if the nouns are countable.

Example:

1. There are many flowers in the vase.

    There are ten flowers in the vase.

Types of adverbs

Adverbs add to the verb. They tell us more about the verb. Adverbs answer the questions – ‘when, where, how’ put to the verb.

Types of adverbs:

1. Adverb of Manner – It describes ‘how’ something happens. It mostly ends in the suffix ‘-ly’

Eg – angrily, noisily

2. Adverb of Place – It describes ‘where’ something happens.

Eg – here, nearby

3. Adverb of Time – It describes ‘how long’ or ‘when’ something happens. Eg – after, soon

4. Adverb of Frequency – It describes ‘how often’ something happens. Eg – often, daily

5. Adverb of Degree – It describes ‘to what degree’ something happens. Eg – just, very

6. Adverb of Certainty – It describes ‘how probable it is’ that something will happen. Eg – probably, surely

Note : Adverbs can also be used to modify adjectives or other adverbs. For eg – 1. Tina is very short. Here ‘very’ is the adverb that modifies the adjective ‘short’.

2. Tina ran very slowly. Here ‘very is the adverb that modifies the adverb ‘slowly’.
