Adverbs, Prepositions, Conjunctions and Interjections
2
Adverbs Used to modify a verb, another adverb or adjective
Most adverbs end in –ly, but not always AND just because it ends in –ly, doesn’t make it an adverb…
3
Adverbs modifying verbs:
ASK: does it tell when, where, how, to what extent? WHERE? WHEN? We lived there May we go tomorrow? HOW? TO WHAT EXTENT? She quickly agreed. I am completely happy.

Complete on your chart:
Directions: using the example sentences, complete each sentence by supplying the appropriate adverb. The word in parenthesis tells you what information the adverb should give you. The soldiers must travel (how). Ms. Gentile is (when) in a bad mood. Your taxi should be (where) soon. Tonya took a deep breath and jumped (where).

Adverbs Modifying Adjectives
Beth did an exceptionally fine job The adverb exceptionally modifies the adjective fine, tell how fine Slightly cooler temperatures are forecast for this Sunday. The adverb slightly modifies the adjective cooler, telling how cool Copy down a few examples the list of “Adjectives that Frequently Modify Adjectives” on page 486 or you may google it!

Adverbs modifying other adverbs
Calvin was almost never in school. The adverb almost modifies the adverb never, telling to what extent We will meet shortly afterward. The adverb shortly modifies the adverb afterward, telling to what extent.

Preposition Used to show the relationship of a noun or pronoun to some other word in a sentence. The Saint Bernard slept next to my bed The Saint Bernard slept near my bed The Saint Bernard slept under my bed The Saint Bernard slept on my bed Copy down the commonly used prepositions on page (or Google it!)

The Conjunction A word used to join words or a group of words
Coordinating conjunction: always connect items of the same kind Correlative conjunctions: used to connect items of the same kind, not usually in pairs Coordinating Conjunctions: And Nor Yet But Or For So Correlating Conjunctions: Both…and Either…or Neither… nor Not only…but also Whether…or

Examples: Coordinating or Correlative?
Both Jim and Robert are outstanding athletes. I want to not only pass math class but also Latin class. I took his number, but then I deleted it. I have to take a bus and a train to get to school.

Hey! The Interjection! A word used to express emotion.
It has NO GRAMMATICAL RELATIONSHIP to the rest of the sentence. Unrelated to other words in the sentence, it is set off from the rest of the sentence by an exclamation point or by a comma: Hey! Be careful of that wire! The smell of cafeteria lunch lingers up the stairs, ugh! Well, I guess it is over.
