complete syntactic and semantic unit, as look up in She looked up the word in the dictionary or She looked the word up in the dictionary. What is an adjective? The part of speech that modifies a noun or other substantive by limiting, qualifying, or specifying and distinguished in English morphologically by one of several suffixes, such as -able, -ous, -er, and -est, or syntactically by position directly preceding a noun or nominal phrase.

Now you are going to do the words and expressions exercises 1, 2, 3 and 4 on page 15. 3. Revising useful structures—What is an adverbial? In linguistics, an adverbial is a sentence function like subject and object and so on. Adverbials typically express content that is considered to be secondary or non-essential to the sentence it appears in. Three types of adverbial are typically recognized: adjunct, disjunct, and conjunct (although several more are proposed in various theories). The terms "adverbial" and "adverb" are very often mistaken for each other, but do not mean the same thing. An adverb is a word class category whereas an adverbial is a syntactic function.

The meal was eaten quickly. The meal was eaten at noon. In the first sentence, "quickly" is an adverb which modifies the meaning of the verb "eaten". In the second sentence, "at noon" is an example of a preposition phrase serving as a temporal adverbial. 高考单选题中的“副词作状语”
