Mockup Test: Examples: English Grammar I 1.

(Monthly = adjective, hoort bij meetings = noun. What type of adverbial information does this express? Time/frequency) - Your argument isn’t logical. → You don’t argue logically. (Manner) - Did he just give me a friendly look? → Did he look at me in a friendly manner? (A look = noun; friendly = adjective) 2. Write out meaningful sentences with the adverbials in suitable positions (use all adverbials together in one sentence!), and, where applicable, choose the correct adverbial form. For each adverbial, indicate which type it is. Always try to be as specific as you can Fishermen, he says, are people who spend their spare time. (wisely) His wife does not agree, but says nothing. (always, wisely) →Fishermen, he says, are people who spend their spare time wisely (end position!). His wife does not always agree, but wisely says nothing. -

(hard/hardly, light/lightly) →I hardly speak of this affair, since it lightly concerns me. (mid-position, type: negative adverb) 3. Complete the underlined noun phrases, if necessary. Use only adnominal elements. Each time, specify exactly which kind of adnominal is involved, including zero elements, and whether it modifies or determines. Obviously, the resulting sentence has to make sense. I’m going to baker’s. I still have to buy bread for dinner tonight. You cannot imagine food I need to feed mouths. →The baker’s. →The food →The many mouths -
