Julio Lugo and Adverbs
Arnie:
Hey Lugo ready for your grammar lesson?
Lugo:
Sure...I'm doing fine in grammar but I can't figure out adverbs and adjectives.
Arnie:
Easy...adjectives describe nouns. Adverbs don't describe nouns.
Lugo:
What do adverbs describe?
Arnie:
Take a guess...ad-VERB
Lugo:
Oh ya, they describe nouns to!
Arnie:
NO...ad_VERB
Lugo:
Ya...nouns got it...so what's the difference between an adjective and an ad-VERB.
Arnie:
No...don't SHOUT VERB in adverb, I was giving you a hint. Adverbs describe...you know...VERBS!
Lugo:
Then why did you tell me they describe nouns. Arnie you sure you're smart?
Arnie:
Apparently not as I'm teaching you!
Lugo:
That's not nice. Anyway what are ad-VERB?
Arnie:
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. Easy right?
Lugo:
Ah...boy you make Lugo's head spin. What's an adjective again.
Arnie:
Adjectives describe NOUNS. Adverbs...don't describe nouns. They describe VERBS...got it...ad-VERB!
Lugo:
Whew grammar is complicated. OK...so give Lugo an example.
Arnie:
OK...Arnie ran fast. Now ran is the verb...right?
Lugo:
Ah...so run is an adjective right!
Arnie:
I just told you its a verb!
Lugo:
What's a verb?
Arnie:
RAN...RAN Is a verb. Don't you get it?
Lugo:
Get what?
Arnie:
Oh please help me. Arnie ran fast. RAN is the verb since its an action and fast is to what extent -- so fast is an ad-VERB describing how he ran.
Lugo:
Hu? I don't see you run.
(Arnie hitting head against wall)
Arnie:
OK...Fred ran quickly. Fred is...
Lugo:
an adjective.
Arnie:
NO:
Lugo:
You don't have to get so upset. Fred is an adverb!
Arnie:
NOOOO!
Lugo:
OK Fred is a preposal?
Arnie:
That's preposition and NO!
Lugo:
You make Lugo sick...oh ya Fred is a noun!
Arnie:
YES!
Lugo:
What was the sentence?
Arnie:
I forgot. Let's try a new one. Bob is running away. What's running?
Lugo:
Ah...a noun.
Arnie:
NO...NO...NO. A noun is the name of a person, place or thing! How can you possibly think that running is a A#$#$ NOUN.
Lugo:
What's your language Arnie. I have sensitive ears.
Arnie:
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....OK. Running is a verb.
Lugo:
You mean an ad-VERB.
Arnie:
I GIVE UP.
Lugo:
Give is a verb...
Arnie:
yes!
Lugo:
ah...up is a noun!
Arnie:
Good night Lugo!
Lugo:
Good is a verb?
Arnie:
Good night!
Lugo:
Good is a preposal,noun,ad...VERB, verb...
Arnie:
Good night Lugo!
Lugo:
Wait what about my lesson!
Arnie:
I need a stiff drink. Good night Lugo.
