3 II. GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Adverbs (5-6 minutes) ( 副詞 ) An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. Normally, you can identify an adverb through function, form and position. ( 副詞は動詞や形容詞あるいは別の副詞を修飾する語句です通常副詞はその機能や形式そして配置から見極めることができます ) FUNCTION: Adverbs are mainly used to describe verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. ( 機能 : 副詞は主に動詞形容詞その他の副詞を説明するのに用いられます ) Ex: Mr. Cliff quickly read the document. (quickly describes the verb read) ( 例 : クリフ氏はその書類を素早く読みました ( 素早くは動詞読むを説明しています )). FORM: Most adverbs end in -ly (ex: excellently, silently). ( 形式 : ほどんどの副詞は末尾が ly で終わります ( 例 :excellently, silently)) Most of the time, adverbs are formed by adding -ly to adjectives (ex: quick -> quickly, rough ->roughly). ( 多くの場合副詞は形容詞に ly を付けることで作られます ( 例 :quick quickly, rough roughly) There are also adverbs that do not follow a formal pattern (ex: always, never). ( 通常の形式に当てはまらない副詞も存在します ( 例 :always, never) Ex. Ms. Velasco always neatly organizes her table. ( 例 : ヴェラスコさんはいつもテーブルを綺麗に整えます POSITION: Usually, adverbs can be found before or after the word it modifies. There are also times that it is placed at the start or at the end of the sentence. ( 配置 : 副詞はたいてい修飾される語の後ろに置かれますまた文の先頭や末尾に置かれることもあります ) Page 3

4 Remember: Not all words that end in -ly are adverbs. These words are usually adjectives or nouns and not adverbs. (ex: jolly, ugly, ally, jelly, rally, tally ). (ly で終わる語の中には副詞ではないものもありますその場合それは形容詞か名詞であることが多いです ) Examples: The secretary properly arranged the documents on the folder. ( その秘書はフォルダー内の書類をきちんと整理しました ) The director of the company always attends meetings. ( その会社の重役はいつも会議に出席します ) Now, they will implement the policy. ( 今彼らは政策を実行しようとしています ) Ms. Salvador examined the application carefully. ( サルバドール氏は申込書を念入りに調べています ) Comprehension Check: Give some adjectives, turn them into an adverb and use them in a sentence. ( いくつかの形容詞を取り上げ副詞に変化させ文の中で使ってみましょう ) Page 4
