– Why questions
– Adverbs and adjectives
Question 1
We use adverbs _____ the beginning and the end of a sentence, but sometimes _____ the middle of a sentence.
We say at the beginning and at the end, but in the middle.
Question 2
A train leaves _____ Berlin and arrives _____ Bonn in time.
We say leave (from) a place and arrive in a city or country. Not arrive to: we never use to after arrive.
Question 3
A plane arrived _____ the airport _____.
We say arrive at a building or place like an airport. Late means not on time. Lately means 'recently', so it is wrong here.
Question 4
What is the story _____?
We use about for the topic of a story, book or film: What is the film about?
Question 5
A: _____ is it _____ London _____ New York?
B: About 5,600 km.
We ask about distance with How far, and we say from one place to another place. B's answer is a distance (5,600 km), not a speed. Not How fast: that asks about speed, and to / from is in the wrong order.
Question 6
My friend never comes to school _____. He is always _____.
Early and late are already adverbs. Earlily is not a word, and lately means 'recently'.
Question 7
At first we draw _____, then _____.
The words describe how we draw (a verb), so we need adverbs: quickly, slowly.
Question 8
They are _____ readers, but they work _____.
Before a noun (readers) we use an adjective: slow. After the verb work we use the adverb hard. Not hardly: it means 'almost not'.
Question 9
I turned around _____, because there was a _____ shout.
Immediately describes the verb turned around, so it is an adverb. Sudden describes the noun shout, so it is an adjective.
Question 10
Are you _____? Or is the book _____?
Bored is how a person feels. Boring describes the thing that makes you feel bored: The book is boring.
Question 11
A: I am really _____ about my exam marks.
B: Oh, no! Not again! You are sometimes so _____.
Worried is how A feels. B is unhappy because A worries again and again, so A is tiring (makes other people feel tired). Not tired: B means A is annoying, not sleepy.
Question 12
I am _____ in Mexican culture because it is _____.
A person feels something, so we use the -ed adjective: I am interested in. The culture causes the feeling, so we use the -ing adjective: it is exciting (it makes me excited). Not excited: the culture has no feelings.
Question 13
Be _____! Walk _____.
After be we use an adjective: Be careful! After the verb walk we use an adverb: quietly.
Question 14
She paints _____; she is a _____ painter.
The adverb of good is well: She paints well. Before a noun we use the adjective: a good painter. Goodly is not used here.
