Just some things I'm learning, thought I would pass on to you...

The adverb is not your friend...

We remember from Sophomore English class that an adverb modifys a verb, adjective or another adverb.

It tells HOW something is done.

ex: The team plays hard.

Hard, is the adverb used to modify the word Plays.

ex: He closed the door firmly.

Firmly is the modifying adverb in the sentence, it tells how he closed the door.

Usually an adverb ends in -ly.

Adverbs seem to be created with the timid writer in mind.

More to come, stay tuned...
