Question

Exercise based on adverb of quantity in French

Answer 1

Answer:

Mangez plus de legumes.

In the above sentences, the expressions plus de… ('more') and beaucoup d'… ('a lot of') are adverbs of quantity. In both these example sentences, adverbs are placed right before a noun--légumes ('vegetables') in the first example and eau ('water') in the second. This corresponds to one of the most common uses of adverbs of quantity--to modify a noun. Adding an adverb of quantity to the front of a noun changes the meaning of a sentence. Saying Mangez plus de légumes is different than simply saying Mangez des légumes ('Eat vegetables'), and Buvez beaucoup d'eau is not the same as Buvez de l'eau ('Drink water').
