    Default Re: Adverb

    indoor is an adjective, and indoors is an adverb. Neither are nouns, and neither occur with a preposition. Sentences 1. and 2. are incorrect. Try,

    3. This product has a range of 100 meters for indoor (adjective) use (noun).
    => preposition "for" + noun phrase "indoor use".
    Thanks. This is very useful.

    onward and onwards are one and the same word. Without -s is more common these days.

    1. Onward. (This can be an adjective and adverb right?)
    2. Onwards. (This is an adverb only and you're saying it doesn't matter which one I use?)

    Are these correct? What do they mean?

    1. They are going to do something after.
    2. They are going to do something afterwards.
