Adverbs

18. The use of modal verbs like should and must to express suggestion
and obligation, respectively, contributes to the achievement of
sentences that provide support to the main argument.
a. The public should consider wearing face shields as additional
protection against COVID-19 infection.
b. Every Filipino must conserve water, energy, and other natural
resources.
Modals

19. The use of adverbs like the ones listed below also
contributes to the attainment of the author’s purpose for
writing. These linguistic particles help indicate the mood
or attitude of the writer with respect to the ideas being
presented.
usually | probably | necessarily | actually | apparently
| certainly | definitely | essentially | in fact | possibly
| inarguably
Adverbs

20. The use of evaluative language, usually in the form of adjectives, reflects
the writer’s attitude towards a certain idea. These words express
feelings, opinions, or judgments on what they are describing. Evaluative
words, including the ones listed below, can have positive or negative
effects on an idea.
appalling | awful | disgusting | dreadful | horrendous | incredible
| revolting | ridiculous | shocking | terrible | wonderful
Evaluative Language

21. The use of appropriate transitional devices plays a great part in
maintaining the smooth flow of ideas in an argumentative text.
Depending on the need to bridge one idea to the others, these
words, also known as connectives, help achieve coherence in
writing. Through these words, the danger of the essay sounding
like a group of disjointed opinions can be avoided.
because | therefore | on the other hand | as a result | in summary
| consequently | similarly | in contrast | meanwhile | furthermore
Transitions

22. Write an argumentative essay based on the draft
you created. Make sure to follow the format and
use appropriate modals and transitional devices.
