Page 6 - UKBM 3.8 NARRATIVE

Direct speech is usually placed inside quotation marks and accompanied by a
reporting verb, signal phrase, or quotative frame.

Examples:
o A South Carolina parrot was the sole witness to the death by neglect of a 98-
year-old woman. "Help me, Help me," said the parrot.
o “So if I win at that table, I’ll go on to the World Series,” said the mom I know as
some kind of government contractor.

 Adjectives and adverbs

o Adjectives are words that give us:
 Objective information about something (age, size, colour, origin, materials,
and shape).
Examples:
 Tom lives in a new house. (age)
 Tom lives in a big house. (size)
 Tom put the wooden statue on the table (material)
 Tom drives his red car to the office. (colour)
 Tom drives his Japanese car to the office. (origin)
 Tom keeps his diary in a square box. (shape)
 Opinion about something
Examples:
 Tom lives in a beautiful house.
 The house is luxurious.

We also use adjectives after these verbs: get, feel, smell, taste, sound, seem,
look, grow.

o Adverbs are words that show us how something happens.
Examples:
 The man drove his car carefully.
 She ate her brakfast quickly.
