SENTENCE-BUILDING.
Place the following adverbs in the four classes we have made--if the
classification be perfect, there will be five words in each column--then
build each adverb into a simple sentence.
Partly, only, too, wisely, now, here, when, very, well, where, nobly,
already, seldom, more, ably, away, always, not, there, out.
Some adverbs, as you have already learned, modify two verbs, and thus
connect the two clauses in which these verbs occur. Such adverbs are called
_+Conjunctive Adverbs+_.
The following _dependent_ clauses are introduced by _conjunctive adverbs_.
Build them into complex sentences by supplying _independent clauses_.
------ _when_ the ice is smooth;
------ _while_ we sleep;
------ _before_ winter comes;
------ _where_ the reindeer lives;
------ _wherever_ you go.
