Question

"The very generous saleslady gave me a big discount." In this sentence, GENEROUS is an adverb. True or False?

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

I think it's false because "generous" in this sentence is describing the saleslady. This would make it an adjective, not an adverb.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts

Adjectives are words that describe or modify other words, making your writing and speaking much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Words like small, blue, and sharp are descriptive, and they are all examples of adjectives.

Hence, Generous here, is the adjective not adverb.
