Adjectives vs. Adverbs


There are cases where one can't clearly identify whether a word is an adjective or an adverb. In these cases, he/she must always remember that an adjective modifies a noun or a pronoun, on the other hand, an adverb modifies verbs, adjectives, and adverbs.

    The difference that you made was simple yet I could grasp onto it that much. There are times that simplicity is better than explaining the whole thing too much.

    I often interchanged the part of speech adverb and adjective modifies. Thanks for reminding.

    Your post refreshed our minds to determine the difference between the two.

    The hint is that we should analyze a sentence to differentiate whether the word is an adjective or adverb.

    This topic may seem usual but its one of the things most English students fail to recall. Thanks for refreshing our minds.

    This is a reminder that we should be aware and careful enough in identifying both adjectives and adverbs in order for us to use it properly.

    I think your second sentence is a run-on sentence. You should have used a conjunction or a period between the two independent clauses.
    By the way, thank you for reminding us of this simple but deceiving problem. I hope we don't confuse adjectives with adverbs.
