Hi Christopher, Please help me figure out how "even" is used in Sentences 2 and 3. I understand "even" in Sentence 1 as an adverb; but, it seems that it is used otherwise in the last 2 sentences. In Ex. 2 and 3, "even" seems to modify the noun the follows it (incumbent (Ex. 2), poll watchers(Ex. 3)) rather than the verb, adj. or the entire sentence as expected of an adverb. 1. The ...

Hi all, I'm curious about the usage of 'more' as an adjective or adverb. How did you gain weight more even though you've exercised like that? Here, 'more' is connected to 'gain'. What about 'How did you gain more weight even though~?' I think more here as an adjective is more natural and I've seen this kind of sentences more. What do you think? Which one is right... if both of them...

Hi Alan, What is the position of adverbs in a sentence when there are two or more auxiliaries. Is front, mid or end position. Most grammars say that the adverb comes after the first auxiliary. I want your opinion, please. Therefore, is the following correct: David Carradine would never have committed suicide./ Sometimes you also hear: David Carradine would have never committed suicide./ or ...

1.The tree is standing tall. 2.The tree is standing being tall. Which one is correct ? If the one is correct how come 'tall' is used as an adverb, in dictionary I never found 'tall' as an adverb ? I wanted to mean by 'standing tall' that it is standing straight with its head straight upward towards the sky.

According to Michael Parrot's book "Grammar for English Language Teachers," he says that in the sentence "I remember a day when we all went for a picnic" 'when' is being used as a relative pronoun. I've read other books where this is specifically called a relative adverb. The relative clause in the sentence is "when we all went for a picnic" because it modifies the noun 'a day.' But what ...

I'm new to the forum and to French! Bare with me! I'm confused that tout as an adverb can mean, very, completely or quite. However, completely and quite are somewhat opposite! Il est tout intelligent - is that quite, completely or very? Ils sont tout seuls - is that quite, completely or very alone?

Hello, although I "do" understand all the words I have problems to translate that film title literally. Maybe libero is an adverb in that sentence? It is all right also (living) freely. Thanks.
