EFLs don't know the difference between adjectives and adverbs.

You're absolutely right my niggerish german bro but you need to stop acting niggardly

>>216062977 (OP)
Germans don't either (their language has no such distinction)

>>216062977 (OP)
our schools don't even attempt to teach most people the mechanics of the english language. when I was in school we didn't do sentence diagramming until senior year of HS in AP english and even then many of my classmates were completely incapable of it; I'm sure on a less-challenging track I would have never had to do it at all. our english education is all extremely watered-down literary analysis + "persuasive writing", aka training for writing job applications and emails

They did the same thing in Jeetlandia through the Comprehensive Continuous Evaluation education program, removing english grammar and syntax completely in middle and High school

Falsch.

Adjectives don’t really exist as a distinctive part of speech/grammatical category in a lot of languages—in a lot of Asian languages with isolating morphologies, they’re actually more like verbs. But German distinguishes between the two, like most European languages.

>Das Bier ist gut
>Er spricht gut

>Das Kind ist langsam
>Sie kommen langsam

It’s true that German doesn’t add an ending to an adjective to use it as an adverb, and also true that most adjectives can be used adverbially. But if you can put a gender, number, or case ending on it, it’s not an adverb/not being used adverbially, and there are all sorts of adverbs without adjectival equivalents. Also, as in English, lots of deverbal adverbs.

More importantly, German primary schoolers are introduced to the concepts of Adverbien and Adjektive as distinctive. So while it’s true that there’s a lot of overlap among adjectives and adverbs, they’re conceptually (and sometimes morphologically) distinguished.

This is fucking incomprehensible to me. What the fuck do you niggas learn in English class in elementary school/middle school..? Up until 8th grade or so we had exams that were about all that stuff

They're much harder to tell apart, unlike in English where all adverbs end in "ly"

>English where all adverbs end in "ly"
Not all of them, you lying piece of SHIT.

adjective describes the noun

>the RED ball

adverb describes the verb

>the red ball QUICKLY bounces
