Below are given, in alphabetical order, the verbs of the Old conjugation and the irregular verbs of the New, with reference from each to the paragraph where its conjugation is described. CHAPTER IX. ADVERBS. 308. We saw in the second chapter (41-2) that while a word that qualifies a noun is called an adjective, one that qualifies a verb is called an ADVERB; and also that, besides verbs, adverbs qualify adjectives and sometimes other adverbs. Thus, he spoke truly; a truly upright man; I see him very often. That adverbs sometimes also qualify prepositions, is pointed out below (381). 309. Not all adverbs can be used with all the parts of speech that adverbs qualify. The adverbs that qualify other adverbs are almost only those of degree: as very, too, more, most. The same are used most freely with adjectives. But, as adjectives shade off into participles, implying something of condition or action, they take more or less freely the whole series of qualifying adverbs which the verb takes. On the other hand, adverbs of degree are less used with verbs. Some of the commonest of them, as very and too, even do not go with verbs directly at all; they have to be changed to very much, too much. Hence these are also avoided with past participles, except such as have been turned fully into adjectives: thus, we say very timid, but very much frightened; 310. Adverbs shade off into prepositions and conjunctions; and the same word, often, is used as two of these three parts of speech, or even as all the three. Thus, the oldest and simplest prepositions, such as in, on, off, up, to, were originally adverbs, and most of them are still used as such : for example, he comes in; it turned up; they ran off; move to and fro. And when an adverb, instead of qualifying simply the verb, the word of action, in a sentence, qualifies in meaning rather the whole sentence, showing its relation to another sentence or word, it gets the value of a conjunction, and may be named and parsed Compare 331. as one. 311. Adverbs in English are innumerable, and of the most various meaning and use. But we may divide them roughly into the following classes: a. Adverbs of place and motion: as, here, there, yonder, below, above, in, out, b. Adverbs of time and succession: as, next, once, twice, first, thirdly, fourthly. c. Adverbs of manner and quality: as, d. Adverbs of measure and degree: as, scarcely, quite, very, enough, greatly. e. Adverbs of modality, or modal adverbs such as show the way in which the thought is conceived by the speaker, the relation of one thought to another, and so on : thus, affirmative adverbs are, for example, surely, certainly, indeed; negative are not, noways; potential are perhaps, possibly, probably; causal are hence, therefore, accordingly. The modal adverbs oftenest come to be used as conjunctions. The same adverb may be of one and another class, in different meanings and connections. 312. Adverbs, again, like the other parts of speech, are either simple, derivative, or compound. Examples of SIMPLE adverbs, or of such as cannot be traced to simpler forms without going outside of English, are so, now, ill, much, quite, enough, often. 313. The principal classes of DERIVATIVE adverbs are as follows: a. Adverbs are formed from adjectives with the suffix ly: examples are truly, wholly, hastily, distressingly, ponderously, disinterestedly. This is by far the largest class of our adverbs; most adjectives of quality, and some of other kinds, take the suffix ly to make a corresponding adverb. But adjectives in ble shorten blely into bly: thus, ably, terribly, respectably. And those in ic change the ic into ical before ly: thus, frantically, rustically, authentically. b. A few adverbs are formed from adjectives and nouns by the suffix wise: thus, likewise, otherwise, crosswise, lengthwise. These might almost more properly be called compound, since wise has not gone absolutely out of use as an independent word. c. Adverbs of direction are formed from other adverbs (rarely adjectives and nouns), by the suffix ward or wards: thus, toward or towards, upward or upwards, forward, |
