Практическое задание
Практическое задание. Найдите в тексте наречия:
Some great discoveries are made accidentally. In Egypt in 1799 a French army officer was walking slowly. He looked down, saw a highly unusual stone, and examined it quite carefully. The flat, rather large stone was partially buried in the mud. It was quickly pulled from the mud and thoroughly cleaned.
Inscriptions in three languages had been painstakingly carved on the stone. The first inscription was in ancient Egyptian. The second inscription was in somewhat later Egyptian language. The third one was in a more familiar language, Greek. The message was identically stated in the three languages.
Ancient Egyptian writings had previously puzzled scholars. The easily readable Greek finally gave them the needed key. Eventually, the ancient Egyptian writing was translated. Now scholars can read the language fairly easily. Today, the historically important Rosetta Stone is permanently displayed in London’s British Museum.

Наречия в английском языке образуются путем добавления суффикса -ly к прилагательным.
Пример:

Пример:
happy – happily
clumsy – clumsily
noisy – noisily
НО:
dry – dryly
sly – slyly
wry – wryly
если прилагательное заканчивается на -le, то при образовании наречия мы отбрасываем конечную -е и добавляем -y;
Пример:
simple – simply
miserable – miserably
subtle – subtly
если прилагательное заканчивается на -е, то при образовании наречия мы добавляем -ly;
Пример:
complete – completely
НО:
true – truly
whole – wholly
если прилагательное заканчивается на -ic, то при образовании наречия мы добавляем -ally;
Пример:

Степени сравнения наречий
Давайте вспомним с вами степени сравнения наречий. Правила образования степеней сравнения наречий очень похожи на правила образования степеней сравнения прилагательных. Большинство наречий английского языка состоят из двух и более слогов, таким образом, они образуют свои степени сравнения путем добавления слов more и most. Обратите внимание на наречие early. Оно является исключением.
Пример:
Beautifully – more beautifully – most beautifully
Quickly – more quickly – most quickly
Early – earlier – earliest
I can read more quickly.
Will you speak more loudly?
Наречия, которые имеют такие же формы, как и соответствующие им прилагательные, образуют степени сравнения при помощи суффиксов -er и -est.
Пример:
Fast – faster – fastest
Hard – harder – hardest
It takes longer to get home on foot.
We should work harder if we want to complete the task.
