    Adverb Phrase

    and
    Adjective Phrase
    Adverb
    a word or phrase that modifies or
    qualifies an adjective, verb, or other
    adverb or a word group, expressing a
    relation of place, time, circumstance,
    manner, cause, degree, etc.
    Adverb of manner

    She passed the exam easily.


    They walk quickly to catch the train.
    The dinner party went badly.
    John answered the question correctly.
    Adverbs of place

    Here comes the sun.

    Jane is moving far away.

    Adverbs of frequency

    We get paid hourly.


    I come here always.
    The situation seems to change monthly.
    The newspaper is bought daily.
    Adverbs of time

    I have to go now.
    We first met Julie last year.
    Last year was the worst year of my life.
    Adverb Phrase
    An adverb phrase is simply a group of two or
    more words that function as an adverb in a
    sentence. Just as an adverb can modify a
    verb, adjective or another adverb, an adverb
    phrase of more than one word can further
    describe a verb, adverb, or adjective.
    A simple adverb phrase usually contains an
    adverb and at least one other word before or
    after it, though a prepositional phrase or
    infinitive phrase can also act as an adverbial.
     Bob nodded like a bobblehead.
     Meet me at the mall later this evening.
     Without thinking, he turned down the road.
     They must kiss before sunset to break the spell.
     She went online for more information.
     In the forest, many creatures snarl and growl.
     I will not do that, never in a million years!
     Dad spoke softly to calm her fears.
     They have a house right by the ocean.
     She slammed the door in a huff.
     We will reconvene earlier than usual.
     Truly happy, I gave him my answer.
     She took some time off for a much-needed vacation.
     At every turn, problems blocked his path.
     I saw a lot of trash beside the highway.
    Adjective Phrase
    How can I identify adjective phrase?

    The trick to identifying an adjective phrase is to look at


    the first word within the group of words. If the first word is
    an adverb or a preposition, there's a good chance
    you're looking at an adjective phrase.
    Ask yourself, what is this phrase modifying? Is it
    describing a noun? If it is, in fact, modifying the noun or
    subject of a sentence, then you're looking at an
    adjective phrase.
    Examples of Adjective Phrases
    The very small kitten jumped at the big dog.
    The cost of the car was way too high.
    The man covered with sweat trudged his way
    home.
    Something in the corner was moving.
    The big bug under the blanket is coming
    toward me.

    He was wearing a crown made of gold.
    There I met a girl with blue eyes.
    Wild beasts in small cages are a sorry sight.
    A man with a long beard came to see me.
