Awnser: When Romeo and Juliet meet they speak just fourteen lines before their first kiss. These fourteen lines make up a shared sonnet, with a rhyme scheme of ababcdcdefefgg. A sonnet is a perfect, idealized poetic form often used to write about love. Encapsulating the moment of origin of Romeo and Juliet’s love within a sonnet therefore creates a perfect match between literary content and formal style. The use of the sonnet, however, also serves a second, darker purpose. The play’s Prologue also is a single sonnet of the same rhyme scheme as Romeo and Juliet’s shared sonnet. If you remember, the Prologue sonnet introduces the play, and, through its description of Romeo and Juliet’s eventual death, also helps to create the sense of fate that permeates Romeo and Juliet. The shared sonnet between Romeo and Juliet therefore creates a formal link between their love and their destiny. With a single sonnet, Shakespeare finds a means of expressing perfect love and linking it to a tragic fate.

What is the verbs and adverbs in this passage please help

Answer:

Verbs (in order): believe, yawn, feel, knows, stretches, breathe, rushes, wakes, try, stop, feels, stretching, feels

Adverbs (in order): widely, deeply, thoroughly.

Explanation:

Verbs are action words, meaning a word that someone can be doing like "playing" or "slept."

Adverbs are words used to describe action words, like "slowly" or "loudly."

Some adverbs are repeated throughout the passage so make sure to highlight all of them.

Be careful when choosing which words are adverbs. Some may look like adverbs, but they are actually adjectives, which describe a noun and not a verb. As a hint, most adverbs end with "-ly" as you can see by "widely," "deeply," and "thoroughly."

You can add your own adverbs by finding any of the verbs we found and describing them in anyway you feel suits it best. For example, the sentence:

"When you try to stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

You can add several adverbs to describe the verbs "try" or "stop." Since the verb "feels" already has an adverb, I'd recommend not adding another one.

"When you try to completely stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

"Completely" is the adverb I chose to describe the verb "stop" in this sentence. Another example:

"When you physically try to stop a yawn, it feels unsatisfying."

Now the adverb "physically" is used to describe the verb "try." There are many different options so feel free to be as creative as possible! Just make sure it makes sense with the verb you are describing. A bad example is "slowly sleeping" because there is no such thing as sleeping in a slow manner. A good example is "waking up slowly" because this is actually possible and can be imagined.
