This document provides guidance on using words as adjectives or adverbs. It contains examples of words used as both and activities for learners to identify the part of speech. Learners are asked to determine if underlined words in sentences modify nouns or verbs, and thus are being used as adjectives or adverbs. The document also contains guidance on forming adverbs from adjectives using "-ly" and choosing the correct word form based on its use.

Life
Life is the daily sight of a farmer
going to his farm daily.
Life is the early call of the
“pandesal” boy telling us to wake up early,
Life is the fast rising of the
sun that shines on the earth which goes around it fast.
Life is the late realization that life is
gone and we discover it late.

- What do the underlined words in Column A modify?
- How are they used?
Words in column A modify nouns. They are used as
adjectives.
- What do the underlined words in Column B modify?
- How are they used?
Words in column B modify verbs. They are used as adverbs.
- How can we tell whether a word is used as an adjective or as an
adverb.
A word is used as an adjective if it modifies a noun or a
pronoun.
A word is used as an adverb if it modifies a verb, an
adjective or another adverb.
There are words that may be used as adverbs or adjectives
depending on how they are used in the sentence.
Look at the examples:
1. We arrived early at the airport.
2. So we took an early flight to our destination.
In the first sentence, early modifies arrived, which is a verb.
So it is used as an adverb. In the second sentence, early
modifies flight, which is a noun, so it is used as an adjective.

Here are words that can function as adverbs or as adjevtives:
nice
fast
good
well
bad

hard
soft

early
straight

Change the following adjectives to adverbs by adding –ly. Do this
in your notebook.

adjectives depending on how they are used in the sentence.
