LESSON 75.

CLASSES OF ADVERBS.

+Hints for Oral Instruction+.--When I say, He will come _soon_, or
_presently_, or _often_, or _early_, I am using, to modify _will come_,
words which express the _time_ of coming. These and all such adverbs we
call +Adverbs of Time+.

He will come _up_, or _hither_, or _here_, or _back_. Here I use, to modify
_will come_, words which express _place_. These and all such adverbs we
call +Adverbs of Place+.

When I say, The weather is _so_ cold, or _very_ cold, or _intensely_ cold,
the words _so, very_, and _intensely_ modify the adjective _cold_ by
expressing the _degree_ of coldness. These and all such adverbs we call
+Adverbs of Degree+.
