PARSING OF ADVERBS.

To parse an adverb is to state the kind of adverb, its =degree= of

comparison, if it has any, and what it =modifies=.

=Model.=—_Now_ you may read it.

_Now_, an adverb of time, modifying the verb-phrase _may read_.

=Model.=—I know _where_ you put it.

_Where_, a conjunctive adverb, showing place. It modifies _put_ and

connects the clause, [_where_] _you put it_ with the clause, _I know_.
