Transformers: Dark Of The Moon was a wild ride of both action and passion. This Transformers was deffinitely the best one. It was so much more emotional and yet so much more destructive and I hope that michael bay comes back to direct another. It Still had the witty comedy that we know and love, The movie is very emotional and has a very fitted title because this movie is the darkest in the series. At times you feel like it's helpless and like the characters wont make it, But like any great film, the good guys prevail. This is the best one out of the three
Could you help me find the adverbs and adjectives. Not the whole thing just a sentence or two so I can have an example. Thank you.

I'll be glad to check your adjectives and adverbs. Type (adj) or (adv) after each one you find.

PS -- I don't find this part of the assignment included: "Compare the event to one or more similar events."
Transformers: Dark Of the Moon was a wild(adj) ride of both (adj) action and passion. This Transformers was definitely (adverb) the best (adj) one. It was so (adv) much more emotional and yet so much more destructive. It Still had the witty (adj) comedy that we know and love; Yet the movie was very (adv) emotional (adj). It has a very (adv) fitting (adj) title because this movie is the darkest (superlative adj) in the series.

thank you for the help, I think I kind of have the hang of it... I think. With such simple stuff you would think it wasn't so hard to grasp.
Good job. You missed a couple of adjectives and adverbs -- but found most of them.
Finding adjectives and adverbs is not all that simple. I spent weeks teaching them in 7th and 8th grades.
Do you have any advice for finding adverbs easier?
Many adverbs end in -ly.
Other common adverbs:
not, very, too
Adverbs tell WHEN, WHERE, WHY, HOW, and TO WHAT EXTENT.
If you're not sure, look the word up in a dictionary. Study the different uses to find its part of speech.
Thank you!
Oh -- and the most basic definition:
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
