Ask a Teacher

An adverb is a descriptive word that describes  or modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb.  

For example:

He quickly runs.

She slowly walks.

He happily chatters.

An adjective is that it is a word that describes or clarifies a noun. Adjectives describe nouns by giving some information about an object’s size, shape, age, color, origin or material. They also clarify which thing (noun) the speaker means by giving those kinds of information as well as the speaker’s opinion or observations about it and its purpose.

For example:

It’s a big table. (size)

It’s a round table. (shape)

It’s an old table. (age)

It’s a brown table. (color)

Gerunds (-ing):

When a verb ends in -ing, it may be a gerund or a present participle. It is important to understand that they are not the same.

When we use a verb in -ing form more like a noun, it is usually a gerund:

Fishing is fun.

When we use a verb in -ing form more like a verb or an adjective, it is usually a present participle:

Anthony is fishing.

I have a boring teacher.
