  1. Adjectives 1 Mr. Randles counted to infinity - twice.

  2. Adverbs • Adverbs are words that modify (1) verbs, (2) adjectives, and (3) other adverbs. They tell how (manner), when (time), where (place), how much (degree), andwhy (cause). Why is a common one-word adverb that tells why. Adverbs that tell us how, when, where, and why always modify the verb. Adverbs that tell ushow much modify adjectives or other adverbs. These adverbs are also called qualifiers because they strengthen or weaken the words they modify. • Examples: He kicked the ball solidly. (how); He kicked the ball immediately. (when); He kicked the ball forward. (where); He kicked the ball too hard. (how much). • Instructions: Find the adverbs in the following sentences and what they tell us. 1. Paul answered the question quickly. 2. The answer was given too softly. 3. I soon understood what he said yesterday. 4. Becky and Pam wanted to know then and there. 5. Why do we misunderstand others so often?

  3. Caps • Mechanics - Capitalization • Capitalize titles preceding personal names, abbreviations of those titles used with proper names, initials, or titles when used alone in place of the name or person. Examples: Mr., Miss, Rev., Dr., W. C. Johanson, Captain • Instructions: Capitalize each word that needs a capital letter. • 1. Have you met the rev. mr. ryan, mrs. hubbard, and dr. peterson? • 2. This is supt. e. r. wing who was a captain during combat. • 3. mr. and mrs. jones with miss smith will accompany you tomorrow. • 4. Did you serve, colonel, in india? • 5. I am to dine with cardinal corolucci tonight.

  4. Commas • Use a comma to separate introductory words yes and no and mild interjections from the sentence that follows them. • Examples: Oh, I heard that before. Yes, I will be here. • Instructions: Place commas where they are needed. 1. Yes you may leave the room. 2. Of course I won't change my plans. 3. Oh you want to try my patience more. 4.
