A verb may be transitive in one sentence and intransitive in another. Use the following verbs both ways. +Model+.--The wren _sings_ sweetly. The wren _sings_ a pretty little song. Bend, ring, break, dash, move. 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+. |
