38 USES AND INFLECTIONS. [Par. 46-49.

46 II. Inflections. Adverbs have their Degrees of
Comparison expressed (rarely) by Inflections, e.g.
" soon," " soon-er," " soon-est"; more commonly by
the addition of "more," "most," e.g. "happily,"
" more happily," "most happily."
47 In parsing an Adverb, therefore, you may state -
I. With what Verb, Adjective, Adverb, or Noun
it is connected.
Always ask yourself before parsing an Adverb, " What
does this Adverb tell me?" The answer will contain the
Verb, Adjective, or Noun, with which the Adverb is used.
II. Whether it is in the Positive, Comparative,
or Superlative degree.
48 Caution. Some Adverbs are used as Conjunctions:" You say you wish me well; will you help me then?"
Here " then "must be parsed as a Conjunction,
or as an Adverb used Conjunctively.l
49 The Adverbs " where," " when," " whence," &c.,
are used (1) Interrogatively, (2) Conjunctively,
(3) Relatively.2
(1) " Where is the book?"
(2) "I asked him where (in what place) the book
was."
(3) "You will find the book where (in the place in
which) you laid ii." 2

2 In (3), as well as in (2), where is Conjunctively used; but it is
also used Relatively, and is thus described, to distinguish it from
the merely Conjunctive use.
