Adjuncts or Adverb

[Naadja]

.... It is nearly done.
My question is: In this case, nearly, is an adverb or an adjuncts?
Could you please explaim me why?
Thank you

[Casiopea]

It's an adverb, not an adjunct. Adjuncts are non-essential parts of a sentence. That is, if you omitted nearly, the meaning of the resulting sentence changes:

Test: Is nearly an adverb or an adjunct?
[1] Is it nearly done? ~ Is it almost done?
[2] Is it done? ~ Is it completed, finished? <meaning changes>

Does that help?
