+Examples+.--_Two honest young_ men enlisted. Cassino has a _lean_ and
_hungry_ look. A rock, _huge_ and _precipitous_, stood in our path.
+Direction+.--_Observing this order, write three sentences illustrating the
relative position of adjectives before and after the noun_.
An adverb precedes the adjective, the adverb, or the phrase which it
modifies; precedes or follows (more frequently follows) the simple verb or
the verb with its complement; and follows one or more words of the verb if
the verb is compound.
+Examples+.--The light _far in the distance_ is _so very bright_. I _soon
found him_. I _hurt him badly_. He _had often been there_.
+Direction+.--_Observing this order, write sentences illustrating these
several positions of the adverb_.
Phrases follow the words they modify; if a word has two or more phrases,
those most closely modifying it stand nearest to it.
+Examples+.--_Facts once established_ are facts forever. He _sailed for
Liverpool on Monday_.
+Direction+.--_Observing this order, write sentences illustrating the
positions of participle and prepositional phrases_.

LESSON 52.
ARRANGEMENT--TRANSPOSED ORDER.
+Introductory Hints+.--The usual order of words, spoken of in the preceding
Lesson, is not the only order admissible in an English sentence; on the
contrary, great freedom in the placing of words and phrases is sometimes
allowable.
