Okay, so can you please explain some of the rules about grammar to me? Like, for example I really have a hard time figuring out what divides adjectives from adverbs? Are adverbs like verbs or something??

| adverbs are adjectives that describe a verb. Such as "quickly, or silently" and such. |

Oh, yeah okay I got it now. An adverb is a word that describes an action. Basically an adjective+verb =adverb process.

@Pod
I am not sure you get it.
OK, adjectives describe a noun, a noun being the name of a place or thing. An example of this being "The exterior of the old house was...(can't think of anything else to day)". The adjective in that sentence is the word "Old", and house is the noun.
Whereas adverbs describe a verb, a doing word. For example, the adverb in the sentence "She silently crept through the undergrowth" would be silently, as it describes how she is creeping, which is the verb.

@skyarex
Give him a break, if you replace adjectives with words he said the same thing as you.

@Dax
My problem is that even if that was just an error on his part, he still wouldn't have explained what adjectives were, even though he claimed that I said the exact same thing which he said. |
