Students` Learning Outcome

  • By the end of this lesson students will know about Adverb Phrases

Information for Teachers

  • Read the following sentences:     

  1. The horse runs fast / quickly.
  2. The horse runs with great speed.
  3. He behaved rudely.
  4. He behaved in a rude manner.

  • In the first and third sentences, we have a single adverb and in the second and fourth sentences we have a group of words modifying in the same way. These groups’ words in second and fourth sentences act as an adverb and are, therefore, Adverb Phrases.
  • So we can say:
  • When a word qualifies an adjective, verb or another adverb, it is called adverb. When this job is done by a group of words without having its subject and predicate, it is called an Adverb Phrases.
  • Like an adverb, an adverb phrase tells how, when, where or to what degree.
  • An adverb phrase can come anywhere in the sentence, as;

  1. With great speed
  2. In a hurried manner
  3. At this moment
  4. In no time
  5. Before long

  • Whenever any word, that add some value in adjective, verb and adverb, is called Adverb, but whenever the group of words that has no its own subject and predicate, acts as an Adverb is called Adverbial Phrase, as;

  1. Ali ran with great speed.
  2.  He did it in a hurried manner.
  3. He is busy at this moment.
  4. He reached here in no time
  5. I shall be with you before long.
  6. He answered me in a rude manner.
  7. You can buy these candles in all places.
  8. Hamza walked with slow speed.

  • The above underlined words are Adverbial Phrases but when the following way these are used then they will act as Adverb, as;

  1. Ali ran speedily.
  2. He did it hurriedly.
  3. He is busy now.
  4. He reached here soon.
  5. I shall be with you soon.
  6. He answered me rudely.
  7. You can buy these candles everywhere.
  8. Hamza walked slowly.
