Adjuncts
An adjunct is a word or phrase that adds information to a sentence. Adjuncts can modify verbs, adjectives, or adverbs. There are many different types of adjuncts, but two of the most common are adjuncts of manner and adjuncts of reason.
Adjuncts of Manner: Adjuncts of manners tell us how something is done. They are usually adverbs that end in -ly, such as quickly, slowly, carefully, and happily. For example:
-
She ran quickly to the store.
The teacher explained the lesson clearly.
Adjuncts of Reason
Adjuncts of reason tell us why something is done. They are usually adverbial clauses that begin with because, since, or for. For example:
-
I went to the store because I needed to buy milk.
The teacher explained the lesson clearly because she wanted the students to understand it.
