Adverbs 3 - Adverbs that Modify Adjectives

In the previous two quizzes we looked at adverbs that modify verbs. We were exposed to various types of adverbs that lend additional meaning to verbs. Adverbs primarily modify verbs. But adverbs are also used to modify adjectives and other adverbs. What is the role of such adverbs? It is to add more meaning to the adjective or the adverb. Let us look at some examples:

In the sentence 'My sister wore an EXQUISITELY MADE dress' the adverb EXQUISITELY modifies the adjective MADE. Here the question ‘how the dress was made’ is answered by the adverb EXQUISITELY which qualifies the adjective MADE. If the sentence were to read:

‘My sister wore a POORLY MADE dress’ then the adverb POORLY indicates how the dress was made.
