ADVERBS/

NUMERALS
By Danagul & Balnur & Zaure
What are adverbs?
Adverbs are words that
modify verbs,
adjectives, or other
adverbs. They provide
more information about
how, when, where, or to
what extent something
happens. Here’s a
simple breakdown:
Types of Adverbs
Adverbs of Manner: Describe how
something is done (e.g., quickly, carefully).
Adverbs of Time: Indicate when something
happens (e.g., now, later, yesterday).
Adverbs of Frequency: Indicate how often
an action occurs (always, rarely, usually,
never).
Adverbs of Place: Show where something
happens (e.g., here, everywhere, outside).
Adverbs of Degree: Explain the intensity or
degree of an action or adjective (e.g., very,
quite, almost).
FORMATION
- Many adverbs are formed by
adding "-ly" to adjectives (e.g.,
quick → quickly).
- Some are irregular and don’t
follow this rule (e.g., good → well).
Placement in a Sentence:
- Adverbs can appear at the beginning, middle,
or end of a sentence.
- For example:
- Beginning: "Quickly, she ran to the store."
- Middle: "She quickly ran to the store."
- End: "She ran to the store quickly."
Placement in a Sentence:
1. Adverbs of manner, place, and time are usually
placed after the verb or at the end of the
sentence.
Example: She sings beautifully (manner).
Example: They met here (place).

2. Adverbs of frequency are usually placed before


the main verb but after the verb ‘to be’.
Example: He always arrives on time (before main
verb).
Example: She is always kind (after ‘to be’ verb).

3. Adverbs of degree are placed before adjectives


or other adverbs.
Example: It is very cold (before adjective).
Example: She sings quite beautifully (before
another adverb).
Common
Mistakes:
Don't confuse adverbs with adjectives. Adjectives
describe nouns, while adverbs describe verbs,
adjectives, or other adverbs.

- Example: "She is a *quick* runner."


(Adjective)
- Example: "She runs *quickly*." (Adverb)
Usage in
Sentences
Adverbs enhance our sentences by providing
additional details about actions, qualities, and
conditions. They are essential for clear and
expressive communication!

Adverbs help make sentences more informative


and lively.
- Example: "He sings beautifully" tells us more
about how he sings.
So, adverbs enhance our
sentences by providing
additional details about
actions, qualities, and
conditions. They are
essential for clear and
expressive communication!
What are numerals?
Numerals are an
independent part of
speech that indicates
the number of objects
or their order. They are
used to count, measure,
and label. Here’s a
simple overview:
Types of Numerals
Cardinal Numerals: These are used for
counting (e.g., one, two, three). They
answer the question "how many?"
Ordinal Numerals: These indicate position
or order (e.g., first, second, third). They
answer the question "which one?"
Two Forms of Numerals:
- Word Form: Expressed as words (e.g., "five",
"twenty").
- Numerical Form: Expressed as digits (e.g., 5,
20).
Usage:
- Cardinal Numbers: "I have three apples."
- Ordinal Numbers: "She finished in second place."

Roman Numerals:
An ancient numbering system using
letters (I, V, X, L, C, D, M). For example:
-I=1
-V=5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
Fractions
Fractions, which express quantities less than one,
should not cause many problems for students of
English, once they have understood how they are
formed.

Except for the most common fractions, ¼ ½ and


¾, fractions are made up of a cardinal number
(one, two, three etc.) followed by an ordinal , usually
in the plural (thirds, fifths, sixths etc.)

Here are the most common fractions in English,


and a few others as random examples.
Decimals
Decimals are regularly used in everyday English, but
more specifically in scientific and technical English, in
order to indicate with precision quantities that are not a
complete number.

After the decimal point figures are expressed digit by


digit. The words hundred and thousand are never used
after the decimal point.
Note that the decimal point is precisely that; a point,
never a comma. 1
Before a decimal point, for a quantity less than 1, one
normally begins (British English) nought point ... or (all
forms of English) zero point ....
But after the decimal point, the 0 is expressed as "oh" or
"nought" or "zero"
So, numerals are essential
for counting and ordering in
daily life. They come in
various forms, each serving
specific purposes in
communication.
