Words in italics look like this ~~> adverbs.
From your directions, you should look for words in italics (the adverbs) and then determine what words (usually verbs, but not always) those adverbs are describing (or modifying).
To identify the word or words being modified by the adverbs in each sentence, you need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the adverbs: Look for words in italics that describe the verb, adjective, or another adverb in the sentence. Adverbs usually end in -ly, but there are some exceptions.
2. Determine their function: Determine what the adverb is modifying. Is it modifying a verb, an adjective, or another adverb?
3. Locate the word(s) being modified: Once you have identified the adverbs and their function, find the word(s) in the sentence that they are modifying.
4. Write it on your paper: Write down the word(s) being modified by the adverbs as instructed on your homework.
Let's go through an example to see the process in action:
Example sentence: "She quickly ran towards the finish line."
1. Identify the adverb: In this sentence, "quickly" is the adverb because it describes how she ran.
2. Determine its function: The adverb "quickly" modifies the verb "ran" because it describes how the action of running was performed.
3. Locate the word being modified: In this case, the word "ran" is being modified by the adverb "quickly."
4. Write it on your paper: Write "ran" on your paper because it is the word being modified.
Repeat these steps for each sentence provided in your homework, and you will be able to correctly identify the word(s) being modified by the adverbs.
