1. Adverbs.

And slowly, very slowly,... Proceeded to draw his slow length...
Softly drank through his straight gums, into his slack long body,
Silently.

Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the adjective:

He's a slow learner. He learns slowly.

Some, like well, are irregular:

He's a good player. He plays well.

Some, like fast, don't change:

She's a fast talker. She talks fast.

Others, like hard and hardly, have two forms with different meanings:

She's a hard worker. She works hard.
She's hardly ever late. (=almost never)

Choose the correct adverb form to complete the sentences.

2. Adverbs of manner: Position.

He drank enough / And lifted his head, dreamily...
And looked at me vaguely...
And slowly turned his head,...

There are three possible positions for adverbs:

1. Initial position:
   Slowly he drank the water.
   Suddenly he had disappeared.
   
   
2. Mid-position:
   He slowly drank the water.
   but not: He drank slowly the water.
   or He quite slowly drank the water.
   or He so slowly drank the water.
   or He didn't slowly drink the water.
   
   He had suddenly disappeared.
   but not: He suddenly had disappeared.
   
   
3. End position:
   He drank the water slowly.
   He drank the water so slowly.
   He didn't drink the water slowly.
   He had disappeared suddenly.

Are these sentences correct or incorrect?

3. Adverbs of manner: Position.

Delete the adverb that is in the incorrect position. (Sometimes it's necessary to delete two words.)

4. The second conditional.

If you were a man / You would take a stick
If you were not afraid, you would kill him!

Match the two parts of each sentence.

5. The second conditional (continued).

If you were not afraid = past tense, present or future reference, hypothetical condition (you ARE afraid)
you would kill him = past tense of modal verb, present or future reference, conditional probability (you will kill him, but only if you are not afraid)

Choose the best form of the verb in these sentences.

6. Wish + would.

I wished he would come back, my snake.

wish + past form = present or future hypothetical meaning

I wish it wasn't raining (but it is).
I wish she would call (but she won't).
