This document discusses the differences between adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns by describing qualities like size or color. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs by describing manner, time, place, or degree. Some common errors are using an adjective instead of an adverb to modify a verb. Adjectives and adverbs have positive, comparative, and superlative forms to indicate comparisons, but do not use both -er/-est and more/most in the same form. Some examples of irregular adjectives and adverbs are also provided.

Lesson 6: Grammar and Style
Adjectives and Adverbs
Adjectives
Adjectives are modifiers: Modifiers include words, phrases, and clauses.
Adjectives modify or say something about a noun or a pronoun. Adjectives can tell what color, how many, how big or small, in fact just about anything about the words they modify.
There are several very specific things about adjectives that we have to be aware of as we write and speak:
1. One common error in slang, low diction, and conversational English is to misuse an adjective to modify another adjective.
For example:
He is real tall.
Here the word real is an adjective, but it cannot modify another adjective, tall.
The correct form would be, “He is really tall.” In this case, really, an adverb, can modify the adjective tall.
Another example:
Yesterday I was real sick the whole time at school
Here real attempts to modify the adjective sick. As above, an adjective can never modify another adjective.
The correct form would be, “Yesterday I was really sick the whole time at school.”
2. Adjectives conform to particular and traditional positions, in English usually immediately before what they modify.
Most of the time, adjectives come directly in front of the word they are modifying.
For example:
She drove a new pink Mercedes.
The hot, roaring fire engulfed the house.
In both cases here, there are two adjectives in front of the words they modify.
Another common position for the adjective is at the end of the sentence. This common structure takes the form of subject + linking verb + adjective. Many of these structures, as you will see, are common everyday expressions.
For example:
The quarterback for the opposing team is extremely tall.
Here the adjective tall modifies the subject of the sentence, quarterback.
Sharks in these waters have been known to be very aggressive.
Here the adjective aggressive modifies the subject, sharks.
Food in this part of New Orleans is generally accepted to be very expensive.
Here the adjective expensive modifies the subject, food.
3. Adjectives also normally appear in three different forms, depending on what they are modifying and the context. These are called the positive, what you might call the normal or typical form of the adjective; the comparative, used when you are comparing two items; and the superlative, used when you are comparing one item to three or more other similar items.
For example:
Positive Comparative Superlative
fast faster fastest
good better best
smooth smoother smoothest
Note that adjectives of multiple syllables have to use more and most to make their comparative and superlative forms:
Positive Comparative Superlative
Redolent more redolent most redolent
Note that you could not say redolenter or redolentest.
Fragrant more fragrant most fragrant
Again, there are no such words as fragranter or fragrantest.
Also note that you cannot mix the two forms—that is, add more or most to a form that is made by ...

Narrative descriptive 2013
The document discusses how to write an effective descriptive narrative using the five senses to appeal to the audience. It emphasizes painting a picture with words and provides examples of how to use metaphors, similes, and personification to describe experiences vividly. The document also outlines the main patterns for organizing a descriptive narrative, including chronological, spatial, and psychological order. It stresses the importance of choosing which questions to answer like who, what, when, where, why, and how to include relevant narrative details.
Rhetorical stance copy 1
This document provides guidance on developing an effective writing strategy by considering purpose, audience, and voice. It advises the writer to determine their purpose by asking questions about what they want to say and achieve. The writer should also consider their audience and adopt an appropriate voice. Different types of writing, like narratives, descriptions, examples, definitions, and arguments are discussed. For each type, key elements and structures are outlined. The document stresses tailoring the writing based on integrating considerations of purpose, audience, and voice.
Writing extended definition paper2
This document provides guidance on developing an effective thesis statement and structure for a research paper. It recommends beginning with broad questions about the topic to develop a focused thesis. An effective thesis should make a clear claim, position, or generalization that can be supported with evidence. The document then outlines sections to include in the paper such as defining the problem, presenting solutions that have been attempted, discussing opposing views, and concluding with a call to action.
Editing and proofreading
The document provides tips for effectively editing and proofreading academic papers, including checking that research agrees with the paper's arguments, having strong supporting evidence, and printing a hard copy for easier reading. It recommends ensuring grammatical correctness, clear structure and style, accurate information, concise wording, smooth transitions, proper referencing, varied sentence structures, elimination of passive voice and first-person pronouns, subject-verb agreement, coherent paragraphs, correct punctuation, and verification of sources in the works cited page. Following these steps results in a well-edited paper.
Thinking critically3
The document discusses different types of reasoning including induction, deduction, and logical fallacies. It provides examples of each:
- Induction involves reasoning from specific facts or instances to arrive at a general conclusion. An example is concluding the motor vehicle center is inefficient based on multiple unproductive visits.
- Deductive reasoning moves from a general statement to a specific conclusion. An example is concluding your time will be wasted at the motor vehicle center tomorrow based on the premise it wastes people's time.

The argument paper 2013
This document provides guidance on writing an effective argument paper. It explains that an argument paper must present a debatable topic or position. The paper should follow a classical structure, including an introductory paragraph with a clear thesis statement, background information, reasons and evidence to support the thesis, anticipated objections and rebuttals, and a concluding paragraph with a call to action. When developing the argument, writers should use logical reasoning supported by specific examples, consider opposing positions, and maintain a reasonable tone.
How to write definition essay(2)(2)
This document provides guidance on writing an effective definition essay. It emphasizes using vivid examples to support definitions rather than just providing generalizations. Definitions should grow from a definition into a powerful image. Examples are needed to clarify meanings, especially for abstract terms.

Key elements to compare like audience, purpose, and outcomes are given. Finally, common transition words for comparing and contrasting are listed.
Parallelism copy
The document discusses the use of parallel structure and parallelism in writing. It provides examples from historical figures that use parallel constructions to make ideas equally important and provide clarity, elegance and symmetry. Examples include phrases from Julius Caesar, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and others that pair grammatically similar elements like nouns, verbs, prepositional phrases for effect. The document also discusses correlatives used in pairs like "both...and", "not only...but also" and provides examples of their use and corrections of non-parallel phrases.
Brainstorming
The document discusses how growing up on a family farm shaped the author's personality and values. The farm required long hours of difficult work to complete necessary tasks like plowing, planting, fertilizing, and repairing old equipment. However, the farm also provided many personal rewards that outweighed the challenges of the work, such as a good harvest, the satisfaction of working the land, and the quiet solitude. Overall, the farm experience influenced the author's perspective on life and being human.
Descriptive writing1
The document discusses techniques for using descriptive writing to appeal to readers' senses.

- Include transitional words to smoothly guide the reader through the beginning,
The Power of Sentences
Sentences require a subject, a verb, and must form an independent clause to make sense. Phrases lack either a subject or a verb or both. Infinitive phrases contain "to" followed by a verb, and split infinitives insert words between "to" and the verb. Sentences can be fragments if they lack a subject or verb, or run-on if joined improperly with commas. Dangling modifiers are not grammatically linked to the words they modify.
The writing process
This document discusses the writing triangle of purpose, voice, and audience. It explains that an author's purpose and strategy shape the type of writing, such as descriptive, narrative, process, compare/contrast, or argument. The author emphasizes finding your voice and considering your intended audience. Key questions are provided to help define each element of the writing triangle before beginning a writing project.
Sentences 091
The document discusses key elements of sentences including subjects, verbs, phrases, and clauses. It provides examples of different types of phrases and sentences such as infinitive phrases and split infinitives. It also discusses fragments, run-ons, comma splices, modifiers, and how to identify and correct issues with sentences. The overall message is that words and sentences have power and should be used carefully and constructively.
The argument paragraph 091
The document provides guidance on writing an effective argument paper. It should begin with an introductory paragraph that sets up a debatable topic and thesis. The body should provide background information, reasons supporting the thesis with examples, and anticipate and rebut opposing positions. The conclusion should call the reader to action without an abrupt ending. Tone should be fair, credible, and avoid exaggeration.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Adjective and adverbs
- 1. Adjectives and Adverbs Adjectives and adverbs modify different words. Karen S Wright
- 2. Adjectives and Adverbs •Using adjectives and adverbs correctly is easier than you might think. •However, misuse has become so common, that most college students don’t know the difference between the adjective “sure” and the adverb “surely” or the adjective “real” and the adverb “really.”
- 3. Adjectives and Adverbs Adjective- a word that limits or describes a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase. It usually answers the question which? what kind? how many? Adverb- a word that describes a verb, adjective, or other adverb. It usually answers the question how? when? where? or how much? Linking Verb- a verb that shows no physical action. All “be” verbs are linking verbs: am, is, are, was, were, be, being, and been.
- 4. Adjectives and Adverbs Adjectives modify nouns: giant fish pronouns: big one after the linking verb: The fish is big. Sentence: The fish had large gills. Adverbs modify verbs: nearly eaten adverbs: very nearly eaten adjectives: very sharp teeth
- 5. Use an adverb not an adjective to modify verbs or other adverbs. Students who don’t outline will surelyregret (surelymodifies regret-adverb) it. Students who outline do well(well modifies bad- adverb)on the exit final. His essay was really badly (really modifies badly— adverb) written. Adverb vs Adjective
- 6. Three Forms of Adjectives and Adverbs Big Drink Bigger Drink Biggest Drink Adjectives and adverbs have three forms: the positive, the comparative, and the superlative.
- 7. Use the positive degree when there are no comparisons. Example: My cat is cute. Use the comparative degree when comparing two qualities. Example: My cat is cuterthan your cat. Use the superlative degree when comparing more than two qualities. Example: My cat is thecutest pet on the planet. Adjectives and Adverbs Really?
- 8. When forming a comparative or a superlative use either er/est or more/most but not both. Wrong: My cat is more cuter. Correct: My cat is more cute. Wrong: My cat is the most cutest. Correct: My cat is the cutest. Using Adjectives
- 9. Some adjectives and adverbs are irregular. Like irregular verbs, they must be memorized. Positive Comparative Superlative good better best bad worse worst little less least many, some, muchmore most well better best badly worse worst Positive, Comparative, and Superlative
- 10. Adjectives and Adverbs Adjectives and adverbs make what you write more interesting by painting a picture in your reader’s mind.
