(interrogative pronoun)The person to whom you give the application is the manager. (relative pronoun)

"Swiftly" is not any of these. The nouns in this sentence are "trees", "grace", and "wind."A verb is the action of the noun/pronoun, or what the noun/pronoun is doing. "Moved" is the verb in this sentence, because the trees are completing the action of moving. So "swiftly" is not a verb.An adjective is something that describes the noun. There are no adjectives in this sentence because the "trees", "grace", and "wind" are not being described.An adverb is a word that describes the verb, usually ending in -ly. Aha!

I explain you how to install the software I explain to you how to install the software Which of these to sentences is correct. Why?
The second sentence is better. Because English does not have a different case form for direct object and for indirect objects, there is a strong tendency to expect the first noun or pronoun after a transitive verb, such as "explain" in the given sentence, to be the direct object unless this first noun or pronoun is followed almost immediately by another noun or pronoun that serves as the direct object. In the given sentence, the direct object is a clause, so that the second sentence, which makes it clear that "you" is not the direct object, is easier to understand. A noun or pronoun in a foreign language such as Latin or German that does have a distinct dative case can almost always be properly translated into English by placing the preposition "to" before the objective case of the noun in English.
