Hi

find the adverb from :

28)It was quite nice playing in the snow last year

DS chose nice as it describes the action word playing

but that is not the answer

thnx

Quite....the adverb for was, which modifies nice. Nice is the adjective for it I think? if nice ended in ly it would be an adveb.
E.g. We played nicely in the snow.

Very very confusing!

Horrible question though and poor English too, I may be wrong , knock on peridots door with a pm, she is the English grammar and spelling queen of epe forum.

The answer is QUITE. It is an adverb of degree/modifying adverb. Other examples are: extremely,really, very, fairly, rather etc
