      With adjectives ... You test which word is a describing word: "The "hungry" dog ... ate the super crunchy food."
      What "kind" of dog? → a "hungry" dog
      What "kind" of food? → "crunchy" dogfood
      "super" in: "...the super crunchy dogfood"
      modifies the adjective "crunchy"
      So that is an adverb, not an adjective.

      So the word hungry is an adjective and when used like that it becomes a predicate adjective

      know you won’t ever read this Doc, but here it is for the record....
      “why would someone choose the hardships of obesity and unhealthy living taking years off their life”? Well as an obese male of 32 years of age today I’m going to tell you...
      I don’t do anything about my weight for one simple reason, you ready?...it won’t fix the rest of me....
      Losing weight. It won’t fix my lack of height (I’m only 5 ft 8), it won’t fix my ocd, it won’t fix my general anxiety disorder, it won’t resolve my anxious-preoccupied attachment issues. Losing weight won’t help me stay in school and finish my degree, nor will it help me keep a job, it won’t help me move out and get my own place (even if it could how would I pay rent with no income?), it won’t help me make more friends or lead to a richer social life.
      At best, it would be only one item off a list of a dozen other things still wrong with me. I find it a distraction to waste monumental effort on dropping weight, only to still have the remaining problems aforementioned. If my weight were only one of 3 or 4 things I’d be more motivated to change, but wasting time and effort only for the bragging rights to say “yeah I still got problems but hey...at least I ain’t a fat azz.” 😏 .... If that’s the only reward I would reap from weight loss - it’s not worth the effort.

I teach a little bit of photography on the side and the second thing I teach after how to use that camera is how a camera creates a colour image and how that translates when printing. You can't teach that at all without understanding additive and subtractive colour mixing and why the classical model is wrong. Once you understand it correcting an images dodgy colours is so much easier and getting the prints closer to what you intended becomes a lot more simple to fix when things aren't quite right. If you are not in a profession that requires knowing it however then it's not exactly must have knowledge.

      You would be surprised to see how much regular people have forgotten from school, just because it's useless.

Everything he needs to know is how your body works precisely, and how to cure you. Rest is pretty much superflue.

    Hey, also, Doc, the century question is hard to answer because we forget to take into account that there is no year zero. We started counting at 1 CE (or AD), not at 0. So, when you put 100 years on the calendar, you found yourself at 101 CE, not 100 which was only 99 years from the starting point. Consequently, the first day of the 20th century was 1/1/1901, not 1900.

    On the grammar, sometimes would be an adverb telling when. Bear is a proper noun as the subject. Gets and drools are the compound verbs. And is a coordinating conjunction. Really and super are adverbs telling how much. All over is an adverb telling where. Hungry is an adjective describing bear. Crunchy is an adjective describing food. Food is a direct object telling what. Lastly, his is a possessive pronoun.
    Nobody cares, but I really enjoy grammar and wanted to do a breakdown of the sentence. If I have anything wrong, please let me know. I’m always excited to learn more.

    The reason the game is called "Are you Smarter than a 5th Grader" is because adults who have been out of grade school for a while have forgotten all the "facts" that have been proven useless to them irl, (or children are taught/not taught stuff today that are different from "back in the day") and not every adult has gone to college. Now, why 5th grade, as opposed to 12th, is probably humiliation factor.

      This is a totally bs explanation. It’s about what kind of recall people have of things they’ve learned in their lives. I knew all of the answers except the Acadia one. Does that make me smarter than average or am I just good at recall? Perhaps academic intelligence is based on this ability. The truth is there’s no real scale for human intellect because there are different types of intelligences: academic, artistic, musical, athletic, etc.

Yes, I guess, but its going to be harder to remember what you're trying to do (Depending on the art obviously, this doesn't really apply to abstract). And musical as well, you need to be able to remember the notes/keys.

Whereas if it were "blue food," "blue" would be an adjective describing the food. Like how a "green house" (adj+noun)is a house that is green, but a "greenhouse" (compound noun) is the glass structure for growing plants out of season. Compound nouns can be two words separated by a space, hyphenated, or two words smushed together, like "bedroom."

    Words like “super” and “really” are called adverbs, and they exist to compliment or emphasize a verb, adjective, or another adverb.
    So, in saying “really hungry” or “super crunchy” the adverbs exist to describe the degree to which the adjective exists.

    For those who wants to learn more:
    To put it simply the teeth has layers: The Enamel, Dentin, and Pulp.
    *Enamel* is the hard outer protective covering.
    *Dentin* is underneath the enamel and is very sensitive.
    *Pulp* is the core; where you get the nerves and blood vessels.
    Enamel could be damaged by brushing too hard or drinking too much acidic drinks which causes erosion, etc.
    No protective barrier causes the Dentin to be exposed; hence, tooth sensitivity and cavities.
    If caries reaches your Pulp it could cause immense pain or eventually death of the pulp tissue and you'll either have to extract it or get implants or root canal treatments.
    *So take care of your teeth to keep dental bills out of the way. Prevention is key.

    In that sentence, “super” is an adverb. I’m an elementary school teacher and have 5th graders who would definitely say it’s an adjective though. So don’t feel bad!

      @plukerpluck 2 года назад +1

      The real question is what is "dog" in the sentence? Because it's acting as an adjective. It's "dog" food rather than "human" food or "plain" food. So is dog a noun? And adjective? Something else that pretty much nobody learns about?
      That's right! It's a noun adjunct or attributive noun (or one of the many other names this can take)! So honestly I'm not sure I liked the question because of that. The adverb "trick" was fair game though.

    • @Carolynnie
      @Carolynnie 2 года назад

      @@plukerpluck yup, I could definitely see a student (or someone whose first language isn’t English, or honestly any person) being confused about the dog food part. It sounds like it’s describing the type of food. I feel like they were trying to throw him off with that sentence. As a teacher myself, I read that sentence and immediately thought the answer was 3; hungry, super, and crunchy. Then realized super was an adverb, but yeah English is by no means easy and I have all the respect in the world for people who learn English as a second language and can speak it fluently!

  • @TuxMan404
    @TuxMan404 Год назад +6

    There were actually 3 adjectives in that sentence. Probably. Crunchy and hungry were both adjectives, but ‘dog’ could also be considered one because the object of the preposition could be ‘food’ by itself, and dog would have also been an adjective.
