Adjectives, Adverbs, and Proposition Types: A Comprehensive Study
Classes and Degrees of Adjectives
Classes of Adjectives: Specifying and explanatory.
Degrees of Significance of Adjectives:
- Positive: Expresses the quality without changing intensity. Example: Large lounge.
- Comparative: Comparison of:
- Inferiority: (e.g., Peter is less intelligent than me)
- Equality: (e.g., This car is as nice as mine)
- Superiority: (e.g., Farith is prettier than Adriana)
- Superlative: Expresses the quality in its maximum degree (e.g., Pass it excellently, he did very well, she is high).
- Absolute: Expresses the maximum quality of the name without limitations (e.g., The picture is very expensive).
- Relative: Expresses the highest quality, but always in relation to another noun which also has this quality (e.g., Ericka is the most studious of the class.)
Syntactic Functions and Adjective Propositions
Syntactic Functions of Adjectives: Add the name attribute, predicative complement.
Adjective Propositions: The proposition is subject and adjective complements a name on the main motion called antecedent and which binds to the means: relative pronoun (who, whom, what), possessive relative adjectives (whose), relative adverbs (where, how, when).
Functions of Relatives: It plays a dual role, serving as a link between the subordinate and the principal and also plays a syntactic function within its proposition that may or may not the same as your antecedent.
Kinds of Adjective Propositions:
- Specified: Select the antecedent noun in the group to which it belongs.
- Explanatory: Not selected, but also give additional information about the antecedent.
Adverbs: Types and Functions
Adverbs Lessons:
- Simple: well, yes, no, wrong.
- Compound: Slowly, gently.
- Adverbial: Groups of two or more words with meaning unit and function as an adverb (blindly in the dark, occasionally, at the end).
Syntactical Function of the Adverb: Adverbial, add the adjective, Completion of the adverb.
Adverbs of Quantity and Indefinite Pronouns
Adverbs of quantity and adjectives and indefinite pronoun:
- Adjectives: When determining a name (determinants), in this case always go before the noun and agree with the gender and number. Example: A lot of people reading.
- Indefinite pronouns: Replace a noun phrase and play the same role it. Example: Many arrived late.
- Adverbs of quantity: Are invariant and complement to a verb, an adjective or another adverb. e.g., Jose talks a lot.
Adverbial Propositions: Types and Examples
Kinds of Propositions S. Adverbial: May be:
- Location: (e.g., searched for clues / there /)
- So: (e.g., did the work / as it should be / = did the work / goods /)
- Time: (e.g., I get up / when daylight / = I’ll get up / soon /)
- Comparative, causal, consecutive, conditional and final consesivas.
Of these, only the place, time and so complement the verb. In fact, they alone can be replaced.
Comparative Propositions
Propositions S. : Compare
- For equality: so .. as well .. as such .. which .. as such. (Example: It’s so clever / like good person /).
- Comparative of superiority: over .. that rather than … (Eg Gary is smarter / it seems /).
- Comparative inferior: less .. that less than … (Example: On the beach, the heat is less oppressive / that in the city /).
Causal Propositions
Propositions S. Causal: Express the reason why the main action takes place. Because, because, because, because, as. (Eg Emilio stayed home / because he was sick).
Consecutive Propositions
Propositions S. Consecutive: Express a result or deduct what emerges from the main action. (Eg, sold few tickets / concert so suspended /). Tan + adjective + that, + name + that + verb + so that both + noun + that + adverb + that much.
Conditional Propositions
Propositions S. Conditional: Express a condition to be met. The most common link is yes. (Eg, / If you come with me / you invite to the movies).
Consesivas Propositions
Propositions S. Consesivas: Pose a difficulty for the implementation of the action. Yet, despite that, though, even when well. (Eg, / Though not deserve it /, I will defend).
Final Propositions
Propositions S. Final: Explain what the main action takes place. For since, in order that, in order that. (Eg, went to the bank / to get paid the check /).
