Grammar / Notes

  • uses a -adjective before a noun: + + noun. So means “a beautiful flower” / “beautiful flowers.”
  • Intention: Verb dictionary form + means “was planning/intending to …” (a plan you had at that time). Example: (“I was planning to take photos of beautiful flowers.”) Here, is the dictionary/plain form, and marks that intention as being in the past.
  • Adverbial use of -adjectives: change to to modify a verb (do something “~ly”). Example: (“My younger brother said, ‘I’m sorry,’ quietly.”) modifies (“said quietly/in a small voice”).
