An toiseach, on beginning, Jirst ; chian, (from) of old,
&c., &c. It would therefore serve no purpose to give long
lists of "Adverbs."
The Adverb goes always along with the Verb
in a Sentence, that is, with the Predicate ; it is
therefore called an Extension of the Predicate : as
Tha a' churra ag iasgach.
Tha a' churra ag iasgach git dian.

All these Enlargements and Extensions can
occur in one sentence : — Tha a' Churra mhor
ghlas a' glacadh nan iasga mora geala gu dian
dichiollach, the large grey heron is catcJiing the
great white fishes closely and diligently.
Exercise V.
Point out (1) the Subjects, Predicate, Object,
Extensions and Enlargements ; and (i2) tell the Parts
of Speech.
