Hello, Kathie,

I'm sorry to say you are not really close on this one. You need to review the basics about nouns, verbs, adjectives, and so on. You are correct in thinking that adjectives often precede nouns, however. A similar pattern is for adverbs to precede adjectives.

A couple of other general rules of thumb are that words ending in LY are most often adverbs, while words which don't end in LY, but could, are often adjectives.

For example, "sad" could be changed to "sadly". "sad" is an adjective; "sadly" is an adverb.

Here are some other words you should be able to "tag" now: "quick", "quickly", "frequent", "frequently", "happy", "happily", "perfect", "perfectly", "nervous", "nervously", "certain", "certainly", "possible", "possibly", "high", "highly", "simple", "simply".

I'm sure you'll be able to find the answer to your original question in there somewhere!

Calif Jim
