What are some Examples of adverb of negation?
An adverb of negation is an adverb that makes a verb or another adverb negative in meaning. The most common adverbs that negate are 'not' and 'never'. Examples:
I will go with you. Or, I will not go with you.
I enjoy hiking. Or, I neverenjoy hiking.
We rarely go out to eat.
I scarcely passed that test.
He almost hit that parked car.
No, was is a verb (past tense, along with were, of the verb to be).
No. The word "should" is a verb. It is the past tense of the helper verb shall (will), used in the same manner as can/could or will/would. It indicates an action that one has a good reason to perform, or one that has a likely result.
What is the adverb form for augment?
The adjectives made from augment are augmented, augmenting, augmentable, and (informally) augmentary.
An adverb of the form augmentarily or augmentally or augmentedly does not seem to exist formally.
What is the comparative adverb for easy?
The adverb form is "easily" and the comparative is "more easily."
What is the comparative adverb of good?
A comparative adverb indicates a greater degree of the verb or adjective that it modifies. Some examples of modifying "good" with a comparative adverb would be: really good, extremely good, very good.
Comparative adverbs are adverbs that show a comparison of qualities, as do comparative adjectives. However, most do not use the same suffixes as do the adjectives (-er, -est). Most use the words more (or less) and most (or least). Sometimes the word than is used to compare with others.
He drives more dangerously than other drivers.
The second accident was less serious. (than understood)
In some cases, however, they are the same words as the adjective form:
They work hard / they work harder / they work the hardest.
In some cases, the only change from the adjective is the addition of the adverb suffix -LY:
beautifully / more beautifully / most beautifully
AN ADVERB that compares 2 or more things
Is the phrase 'in the classroom' an adjective or adverb phrase?
It could be either an adjectival phrase or an adverbial phrase, depending on whether the phrase modifies a noun or a verb. Lets start with a simple sentence: "The boy threw the ball." That doesn't tell us very much. It doesn't tell us which boy threw the ball or where he threw it. So now let's add the phrase "in the classroom." Let's say, for example, "The boy in the classroom threw the ball." Here the phrase modifies the noun 'boy.' It tells us which boy, and is therefore an adjectival phrase. But, "The boy threw the ball in the classroom," is different because the phrase modifies the verb 'threw' by telling us where the ball was thrown. Therefore it is an adverbial phrase.
What two letters end most adverbs?
Most adverbs end in the suffix ly.
For example, the words completely, finally, wildly, coldly and smartly are adverbs.
However, not all adverbs end in ly.
No. Caution is a noun. To use the -LY suffix, add it to the ADJECTIVE form (which in this case is cautious) and you will form the adverb (cautiously).
What is the comparative adverb for help?
One adjective for the noun and verb help is "helpful" which has the adverb helpfully and the comparative form "more helpfully."
Oh, dude, like, yelled is actually a verb, not an adverb. Adverbs usually describe how an action is done, but yelled is the action itself. So, next time someone asks if yelled is an adverb, you can be like, "Nope, it's a verb, man."
The word "there" is either an adverb, a pronoun, or a noun. And arguably an adjective (e.g. that person there).
How can you use monthly as an adverb?
They are paid monthly. (In other words, they receive their pay once a month - and not daily, weekly or annually).
When the word monthly precedes a noun, it is an adjective. He made his monthly trip to the cabin.
Yes, somewhere is an adverb meaning a definite but indeterminate location. Somewhere can also be a noun.

The word 'obviously' is an adverb, a word that modifies a verb; meaning easily perceived or understood, unmistakably, clearly. Example:
He obviously cares a lot about you.
It can be an adverb when it modifies an adjective to mean very, or especially. Examples would be "such terrible weather" or "such sad memories."
