6 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry, and welcome back to our podcast, where we help you with your understanding of the english language.
Hopefully you'll be able to understand it a little better.
So what I'm going to talk to you about now in this particular podcast on are adverbs.
And usually adverbs go with verbs, and they qualify the verb to tell us something more about the verb.
For example, I drive to work every day.
So just a simple statement.
I drive to work.
But if I add an adverb, I usually drive to work every day, it tells you something that I usually drive.
I don't take the bus.
I don't walk.
I don't cycle.
I usually drive to work.
But in these examples, we're just going to look at the adverb connected with adjectives, and what we're going to try and do is put more emphasis on the adjectives to make them stronger.
Okay, so, for example, it was cold.
Cold is an adjective, but if I add an adverb, it was very cold.
So I'm stressing or emphasizing the fact of how cold it was.
It was very cold.
Okay, so let me give you the first example, and these are going to be extreme adverbs to really give you the sense of what the, the adjective is all about.
It was cold on the water.
