The Preposition
Prepositions are connecting wordsthey do not have any meaning or content in or of
themselves. They exist only to show relationships between other words. For this reason, they
must simply be learned or remembered. Prepositions are words like at, by, from, and with that
are usually followed by a noun or pronoun (at home, by herself, from Toledo, and with you).
The word following the preposition is called its object; the preposition and its object are called
a prepositional phrase. Prepositions are divided into three main types.
a) Prepositions of place
b) Prepositions of time
c) Others prepositions

The Adjective
In your writing you will often want to modify (or describe) a noun or pronoun. The word you will
use is an adjective, a word that modifies nouns and pronouns. Adjectives usually answer one of
the following questions: How many? What kind? Which one? What color?

Types of Adjectives.
Positive: Nice
Comparative: (er, more, than)
Superlative: (est, the Most)
Demonstrative: (this, that, these, those)
Possessive: (my, your, her, his, its, our, and their)

The Adverb
Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
The huge chopper transported the soldiers quickly. (Quickly modifies the verb
transported.)
The extremely tall guard dribbled the basketball slowly. (Extremely modifies the
adjective tall, and slowly modifies the verb dribbled.)
The tall guard dribbled the basketball very slowly. (Very modifies the adverb slowly.)
Adverbs usually answer the following questions: When? Where? How? To what extent?
Adjectives and adverbs are often confused. Remember that adjectives describe nouns and
pronouns, and that adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Notice the differences
in the following sentences.
Her loud hiccups distracted the speaker. (Loud is an adjective because it modifies the
noun hiccups.)
If you sneeze loudly, you will distract the speaker. (Loudly is an adverb because it
modifies the verb sneeze.)
Many adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the adjective (as in loudly, in the previous sentence).
But keep in mind that some adverbs do not end in -ly (above, never, there, very, and so on). And
some words that end in -ly are not adverbs (words such as silly, friendly, and lovely).

place to which they refer.
