DallasGuy75219 Posted December 30, 2023 #201 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Try again. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns. In the context of "free burgers", "burgers" is a noun. Therefore free is an adjective, not an adverb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfaeric Posted December 30, 2023 #204 Share Posted December 30, 2023 4 minutes ago, KroozNut said: Wrong.. see my post #200. According to Britannica, the word free can be used as a verb, adverb, AND adjective. https://www.britannica.com/dictionary/free#:~:text=free (adjective),free–floating (adjective) Not that this adds to this thread what so ever. Free *whatever* means that the *whatever* didn't cost anything, making it an adjective. Free burger, free person, free society, etc. But why make such a big deal about this, anyway? It hardly helps people find the free burgers on board with free fries that they can have with free tea. It's not feeing to me to worry about.

GimmeOcean Posted December 30, 2023 #205 Share Posted December 30, 2023 2 hours ago, KroozNut said: Wrong.. see my post #200. Nope. Depends on usage. “free burgers” - free is an adjective. ”get burgers for free” - free is an adverb.
