adverb同adj 有時分唔清...help

你好，对的，副词 (adverb) 不只是用来修饰动词 (verb) 的，还可以用来修饰形容词 (adjective) 和另一个副词 (another adverb) 的。

1) To modify a verb
- He drove slowly. ---> "slowly" is an adverb.

2) To modify an adjective
- She runs very fast. ---> "very" is an adverb.

3) To modify another adverb
- She spoke extremely confidently. ---> "extremely" and "confidently" are adverbs.

至于形容词 (adjective) 是用来修饰名词 (noun) 和名词的片语 (noun phrase) 的。

问题 1:
我们可以写 She has a beautiful face. 的，但是不可以 She has a face beautiful 的，因为我们通常都会把形容词放在 noun 或 noun phrase 的前面。

问题 2:
我们不只可以写 She was beautifully dressed. 还能够写 She was dressed beautifully 的，因为我们可以放 adverb 在动词 (noun) 的前面或后面的。

应该是 She runs quickly. 吧？所以啊，我们也是不只可以写 She runs quickly. 还能够写 She quickly runs. 的。可是我比较喜欢写 She runs quickly 多一点。

不知道我的解释算简单和容易让你明白的吗？

希望能帮到你咯。。。: )

問題1:
She has a beautiful face個beautiful (adj) 一定要放中間。

不過喺'She is beautiful.'句子，個beautiful唔一定放中間，可以喺前面--Beautiful she is.但意思稍不同。

問題2:
Adverbs e.g. beautifully 位置很自由, 除了動词 (verb) 的前面或後面，例如'Beautifully she was dressed.'，'She beautifully was dressed.' 也可。

Q1. The adj 'beautiful' modifies the noun 'face'. Generally speaking, the adj is placed in front of the noun. Thus "she has a face beautiful' is wrong for the adjective is at the wrong place.

Q2. Adverb usually gives more information on verb, adjective, another adverb or a phrase. In my opinion, I see 'dressed' in the sentence as an adjective (past participle used as an adjective in the sentence). Therefore the adverb 'beautifully' modifies 'dressed'.

We see the adverb sometimes would be at any part of the sentence because it can be used to add informtion about place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree etc to a verb, an adjective, a phrase or another adverb.
