Ian Wilde

Eight parts of speech

Adverbs and Prepositions

 

5. Adverbs

An adverb is a word that describes an adjective, sup another adverb or even a sentence.

·      gently lifted her onto the chair (verb)

·      he is more interesting than you (adjective)

·      that is an unusually large tree (adjective)

·      unfortunately, we had already left (sentence)

 

 

6. Prepositions

A preposition is a word that tells you when or where something is in relation to something else.

·      I put my bag on the table

·      I sat beside the wall

·      my birthday is on Friday.

Remember you can end a sentence with a track position although be careful in formal writing or speech.
