Adverbs
Many
adverbs do not correspond to an adjective form. Such adverbs can refer to time,
manner and place. An example of each is now,
naturally and here
respectively. The order of these three types of adverbs isn't important
because the meaning is still there. Nevertheless they must be as close as
possible to the verb, adjective, or noun described otherwise the meaning of the
sentence will change. The only
difference in the following sentences below is the position of only. The meaning of the sentence changes with the
shift the word only. For the significance or order, see the sentence structures of
Meσoγeóiκa.
Sentence 1: The only cat
was killed.
Sentence 2: The cat was only killed.
In the first sentence,
there was one cat alone. In the second
sentence the act of killing is shown to be insignificant because of the word
only. Thus in the first sentence, the
adverb, referred to the cat, and in the second sentence, it referred to killed.
