What is the adverb ‘very’ modifying in this sentence?
The cat moved very slowly and scared the small mouse.
The adverb is modifying the adverb ‘slowly’. Adverbs also modify adverbs like “very” !

Thursday, July 26th 2012Reply to this comment

So, as a rule of thumb, adverbs only comes before VERBS. They always come after everything else (adverbs, adjectives, and verbs with frequency). Correct?

I was thinking about a simple question.What it will happen when we have a sentence with MORE than a ADVERB?.Will it be a kind of ORDER with them?… Which will it be?,if it were possible.-RICARDO FROM azul,aRGENTINA.-

Wednesday, September 26th 2012Reply to this comment

Is there a danger of “over-editing” a mcinsarupt? I’ve never written a novel (I think the idea scares me stoopid – all that planning and writing and brain cell destruction), but even for short pieces, the editing process seems a little daunting, trying to objectively improve your own work. I think even with time and space to breathe, it must be hard to see where and how to improve a mcinsarupt.When I have written my first draft novel, I’ll let you know how the editing goes.The “bird’s eye view” technique is a good concept. I’m going to use that for editing a couple of flash pieces.Adam
