Why are you shouting______? ( loud,louder,loudly)
Answers
Answer:
Correct option is D)
In order to fill in the blank with the most suitable adjective or an adverb, let's understand what adjectives and adverbs are.
Adjectives are the words that define/explain nouns or pronouns. For example: Roshni is pretty. Here, 'Roshni' is the noun and 'pretty' explains how she is, hence 'pretty' is the adjective.
Adverbs are the words that describe action words (verbs). For example: Ram fought bravely. Here, 'Ram' is the noun and 'fought' is the verb. 'Bravely' describes how he fought, hence it is the adverb.
NOTE: We need a word to describe the way he was shouting. Since, 'shouting' is a verb, the word that describes it is called an adverb. Hence, we need an adverb to fill in the blank.
Option A - 'Loud' is an adjective and not an adverb. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'To loud' is grammatically incorrect, as the marker 'to' is used with a verb in its original form. An adjective is often accompanied by 'too' and not 'to', however, as we need an adverb, we can't use 'to loud' here. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Option C - 'Louding' is a wrong word. Thus option C is incorrect.
Option D - 'Loudly' is an adverb which can be used to describe the way he was shouting. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
'He was shouting loudly at me.'
