n't is an adverb
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The statement "n't is an adverb" is true. In English, the contraction "n't" is commonly used to indicate negation. It is formed by combining the auxiliary verb or verb "not" with the preceding verb. For example, in the sentence "She doesn't like coffee," "doesn't" is a contraction of "does not" and functions as an adverb to express the negative form of the verb "like." Therefore, "n't" is considered an adverb in English grammar.Rate this question:

Does an adverb modify an intensifier?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
An adverb does not modify an intensifier. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, but intensifiers are already adverbs themselves. Intensifiers are used to strengthen the meaning of another word, typically an adjective or adverb, without changing its basic meaning. Therefore, an adverb cannot modify an intensifier.Rate this question:
