What questions do adverbial phrases ask and what do adjectival phrases ask
siniylev [52]

An adverbial phrase is a group of words that refines the importance of an action word, adjective, or adverb. Second, an adjectival phrase is a phrase that alters or describes a noun or pronoun.

  • <u>Example for Adjectival phrase:</u> What kind is it? How many are there? Which one is it? An adjective can be a single word, a phrase, or a clause.
  • <u>Example for Adverbial phrase:</u> How?, When?, Where?, Why?, In what way?, How much?, How often?, Under what condition, To what degree? if you were to say “I went into town to visit my friend,” the adverbial phrase to visit my friend would clarify why you went into town.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Prepositional phrases, infinitive phrases can go about as verb-modifying adverbial phrases in the event that they alter an action word, qualifier, or modifier. An adjective prepositional phrase will come directly after the thing or pronoun that it adjusts.

The adjective can start the expression (for example enamored with steak), finish up the expression (for example happy), or show up in an average position (for example very irritated about it).  

Adverbial phrases expressions don't contain a subject and an action word. At the point when these components are available, the gathering of words is viewed as a verb-modifying proviso. The accompanying sentence is a model: "When the show closes, we're eating."
