make no mistake about it English is the single hardest language in the world to learn.  \n\nbut adjectives and adverbs aren't the difficult part.  by far the most difficult part is the fact that there are exceptions to every rule.\n\nadjectives and adverbs are easy   here's the quick and easy version\n\nlets say you buy a car.    any word that describes that car is an adjective.  blue car, fast car, big car, small car \n\nadjectives describe things.\n\nadverbs describe verbs its right there adVERB.\n\nlets say    he ran.  the noun is he the verb is ran\n\nadverbs describe verbs  so   ran slowly, ran quickly, ran awkwardly.  the words that describe how he did the action (verb)\n\nkeep at it more and more people around the world are starting to learn english as a second language so doubtless it will become very usefull in the future.

oops - interjection\nvery - adverb\nsome - it can be either adjective or pronoun\nthough - it can be either conjunction or adverb\nwith - preposition\n\np.s.  You could have avoided confusion about the actual question by placing a comma after the word "word."

It's B; I'm very certain.\n\n"A" has a subject, verb, and a direct object.\n"C" has a subject, verb, and a prepositional phrase.\n\nBut "B" is the one that has a subject complement, "better," which describes the subject, "I."

All English verbs can take -ing - as this is how they form particples.  What you mean - I assume - is that some verbs rarely if ever get used in a continuous tense.\n\nThese verbs are often called 'stative verbs'.  'Know' is a prime example and I cannot think of situtaion where a continuous form would be appropriate.  (However, the participle is often used.  Example:  'Knowing Fred's appetite, I expected to find him near the fridge.')\n\n'See' is slightly different.  'I have been seeing quite a lot of David recently' - is quite acceptable usage.\n\n'Hear' is also OK.  I work in an international school where students have to speak English during the day.  'I'm not hearing enough English!'  Is often a playful warning teachers give their students.\n\nWhere the meaning is either 'right now' or 'recently more than usual', the present continuous for such verbs is fine.\n\n'Remember' is also fine.  A patient in hospital might say that he originally had no memory of his accident.  'However, in the last few days I've been remembering more and more details.'\n\nSo, the assumption on which your question is based is not wholly true.

clauses contain subjects and verbs whereas phrases don't.  adjectives modify nouns.  adverbs modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.  an infinitive is a non-conjugated verb (to run, to walk, to eat).  sorry i can't answer about an apositive or gerund.

these are all definitely right...\n\n1.  "you" -- objective pronoun\n\n2.  "he"  -- subjective pronoun\n\n3.  "her"  -- objective pronoun\n\n4.  "she"  -- subjective pronoun\n\n5.  "it"  -- objective pronoun

okay, here are the real correct answers:\n\n#1) a subject complement is an adjective that describes the main subject of the sentence. So in this case, B is the only one that comes close to that. The other three sentences all have direct objects, which are not subject complements.\n\n#2) C is correct. the other three sentences are not in correct syntax at all.\n\n#3) D is correct. muffler and spark plugs, more than one subject. "need" is the correct verb for plural subjects.

I am stumped.\n\nAn adverb generally modifies a verb (a word denoting some form of action).  "Went" is a past participle of go (action word).  "Walk" is also a verb. "For" is a preposition, therefore, "for a walk" is a prepositional phrase. "Outside" is a noun telling "where" the "nameless character"  "went".  "On" can be used as a preposition, an adverb AND an adjective. So . . . using that theory, "On" is used as a function word that indicates a time in which something happens, "On a very cold day". So it is a prepositional phrase.  However, that phase comes before the verb "went" and again after the prepositional phrase "for a walk". \n\nConfused yet?\n\nSo am I.\n\nSo my guess would be the first prepositional phrase "On a very cold day" (being a function of time) preceding the verb "went".\n\nJust a guess.  Probably a bad guess, but a guess all the same.\n\nCheck with your English teacher.  They may have had grammar in college.

It is a noun that redefines the subject, so to speak.\n\nHere are examples:\nHe was elected president.\nShe is an accountant.\n\nThe words "president" and "accountant" are the predicate nominatives.\n\nHope that helps!

Infinitives are NOT verbs. They are to plus the verb used as another part of speech.\n\nExample. To ask shows you need to know. (To ask is an infinitive used as a noun and is the subject of the verb is.)\n\nExample: I love to get presents. (To get is an infiniive   used as a noun and is the direct object of the verb get.)\n\nExample: She is the candidate to vote for. (To vote is an infinitive used as an adjective modifying person.\n\nExample: She is a person to imitate. (To imitate is an infinitve used as an adjective modifying person.\n\nExample: The train was ready to depart. (To depart is an infinitive used as an adverb adverb modifying the adverb ready.)\n\nNOTE: The infinitive is "to plus the verb." DO NOT confuse it with the word to plus a noun or pronoun which is a prepositional phrase. Example: He walked to the store.\n\nGerunds are the ing ending of verbs used as nouns.\n\nExamples:\nWalking is fun. (noun as the subject of is)\nI like walking. (noun as the direct object of like)\nI think I will give walking a try. (noun as the indirect object of the verb think)\n\nMy favorite exercise is walking. (noun used as a predicte nominative following a non-action verb and renamimg the subject walking.)\n\nI never thought of walking. (noun, object of the prepositon of)\n\nRemember, the part of speech of a word is determined by its FUNCTION in the sentence.\n\nClauses are the same. IF the clause modifies a noun or pronoun, it is an adjective clause. Example. That is the prize which I want. (which I want is an adjective clause that modifies prize).\n\nThat I love chocolate ice cream is a well-known fact. (That I love ice cream is a subordinate clause that is a noun used as the subject of the verb is.\n\nWhen I get to school, I plan to study for the test. (When I get to school is an adverb clause modifying the verb plan.)\n\nI wish I had an hour or two with you. I could teach you all the grammar you would ever need to know. This limited space makes it difficult to do the job. I hope what I have done helps you!!

It is a lot like the subject of a sentence.  It is a noun that is DOING the action rather than receiving.  Such as "The dog ran."  Dog, in that sentence, would be nominative.  But if I said "I walked my dog."  The dog would be the object of the verb and would be accusative, not nominative.

You never asked a question.  Please list it in "details."\n\nAnd some grammar, capitalization and sentence structure would be helpful as well.
