grammar help... adjectives and adverbs?

Question

which words in the following texts are adjectives and which are adverbs:

The human brain was divided up into different areas.

Interest in the subject grew rapidly.



next, how to form adverbs into adjectives?

Finally, what structure do you use instead of an adverb if an adjective ends in ly?

Answer 1

Homework help???

Regardless, adjectives are a part of speech that modifies a noun (remember that a noun is a person, place or thing) making the noun MORE specific, whereas adverbs modify nearly every other part of speech (including adjectives).

So in your first sentence, "brain" would be a noun whereas "human" would be an adjective - as it is more precisely describing what type of brain. Similarly "areas" would be a noun and "different" would be the adjective describing it.

In that same sentence "divided" is the verb and "up" is the adverb as it is describing where/how the brain is divided.

Quite often an adverb can be made into an adjective by adding -ly to it.

loud as an example:

The music is loud (adjective)
The music played loudly (adverb)

But adjectives already ending in -ly (like friendly, ugly, weekly, etc.) are modified with additional adjectives in most cases:

The baby is ugly (adjective modifying baby)
The ugly baby (adjective modifying baby)
The very ugly baby (adjective modifying an adjective modifying baby)

Does that help at all?

Answer 2

The human brain was divided up into different areas. - adjective here is human

Interest in the subject grew rapidly. - adverb here is rapidly

take out the "ly"in adverb and use it to modify a noun


keep in mind that adjective modifies noun, adverb modifies verb or adjective or other adverb (or clauses or sentences)

Answer 3

human is an adjective
rapidly is an adverb
to make an adjective into an adverb, ad ly.
I have no clue to the last one, and I was an English minor in college!

Answer 4

adjectives:
human (which can also be a noun, but here it is an adjective because it describes 'brain')
different

adverb:
rapidly (most adverbs, but not all, end in 'ly')

I don't really understand your last sentence.

Although most adverbs end in 'ly', some adjectives do too: silly, jolly, homely, princely, friendly, and lots more.

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

adj: human, different
adv: rapidly
An adjective modifies a noun; an adverb modifies a verb. To change one into the other you must change the sentence structure.

Interest in the subject grew RAPIDLY (Adv);
There was a RAPID (Adj) growth of interest in the subject.

Answer 6

human (?), different- adjectives
rapidly- adverb

i'm not sure which other ones are adjectives and adverbs

don't know answers to other questions, srry
