Notice
that _ed_ is added to _capture_ (final _e_ is always dropped when _ed_ is
added) to form its past tense and its past participle. All verbs that form
the past tense and the past participle by adding _ed_ to the present are
called +Regular Verbs+.
All verbs that do not form the past tense and the past participle by adding
_ed_ to the present; as, _fall, fell, fallen; go, went, gone_, are called
+Irregular Verbs+.
_Early, hereafter, now, often, soon, presently_, etc., used to modify any
verb--as, _will go_ in, I _will go soon_--by expressing time, are called
+Adverbs of Time+.
_Away, back, elsewhere, hence, out, within_, etc., used to modify any
verb--as, _will go_ in, I _will go away_--by expressing direction or place,
are called +Adverbs of Place+.
_Exceedingly, hardly, quite, sufficiently, too, very_, etc., used to modify
a word--as the adjective _hot_ in, The tea is _very hot_--by expressing
degree, are called +Adverbs of Degree+.
_Plainly, so, thus, well, not_, [Footnote: It may be worth remarking that
while there are many negative nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and
conjunctions in oar language, negation is more frequently expressed in
English by the adverb than by any other part of speech--than by all other
parts of speech.
