Hello Children, Let us start with understanding an ‘Adjunct’.
What is an Adjunct?
An adjunct is a word, phrase, or paragraph that can be removed from a sentence without making the sentence grammatically incorrect. An adjunct is ??usually an adverb used to modify an action. When used as an adverb, an adjunct will indicate a time, a method, a place, a frequency, a reason, or a distance.
In simple terms, adjuncts have descriptive functions and are used to describe time, place or place – unusual, used or conditional.
Adjuncts can be best described as the use of grammar that gives you the answers to – why, where, how and when.
Adjuncts are additional nuclear – they are added or incorporated into a well-written sentences to improve their meaning and will not make much difference to the sentence, if it is removed. Adjunctions are more or less like adding flavor to a food and enhancing its look. However, you cannot add the combination as per your wish it should be well placed to make the statement look appropriate.
