Now answer the questions about the task. Which sentence was the easiest to do? Why? • Why were the rest more difficult (if not impossible)? • What two forms of adverb does he use? • What effect does Heller’s use of the adverb create in this passage? •  Like so many other parts of speech (adjectives, nouns, prepositions, etc.), verbs and adverbs are subject to collocation – that is, some sound good together, others don’t. In the text Heller used some examples of perfect combinations: nodded understandingly   cried with delight   sat back disappointedly  It often can be difficult to know which sound good together and which don’t. This is why it is a good idea to write down any collocations you come across when you are reading. Read and underline the adverb that you think doesn’t sound right with the verb. argue forcefully/deeply/convincingly react violently/stupidly/clearly consider thoroughly/softly/briefly behave well/heavily/badly listen gently/carefully/attentively sleep fitfully/soundly/bravely die thoroughly/violently/peacefully ask nervously/politely/thoroughly 119 6 Extensive unit 6: Dreams Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
