Language Function and Construction: Modifying to Add Details

The video tutorial explains adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives describe nouns, as shown in the example 'the black dog runs,' where 'black' is the adjective. The lesson then shifts focus to adverbs, which describe or add details to verbs, such as 'carefully' in 'the man carefully drove on the street.' Adverbs can indicate how, when, where, and how often actions occur, often ending in 'ly.' Examples include 'carefully,' 'slowly,' 'early,' 'soon,' 'away,' and 'because.'
