Adverbials

[boehm]

- Not a teacher - What is the most difficult part of speech for people who are learning the English language? The trickiest part for me was adverbials. Adjuncts, conjuncts, subjuncts, and disjuncts. Adverbials are essential when studying syntax. I'm probably telling you something that you already know. If so, disregard this thread.

Boehm, you don't need to write "Not a teacher" if you are starting a thread. You only need to write it if you are trying to answer another learner's question.

As always, it depends- few learners or native speakers have a problem with the word yes, but the number who could correctly identify its part of speech is probably sub-minuscule. Studying classes of words may be tricky, but identifying and understanding parts of speech can, in some cases, be trickier.
