Flat adverbs

Flat adverbs
                
Adjectives that do not change form (add -ly) to become adverbs are called "flat adverbs."
                   
Typical flat adverbs are early, late, hard, fast, long, high, low, deep, near.
                 
To determine whether these words are functioning as adjectives or adverbs, one must determine 
                   
1)  what the word is describing (noun or verb)
2)  what question the word is answering

The following examples illustrate the distinction.
             
Early as adjective:
Early describes the noun train and answers the question "which one?"
                          
Early as adverb:
Early describes the verb arrived and answers the question "when?"
               
Hard as adjective:
Hard describes the noun pass and answers the question "what kind?"
                         
Hard as adverb:
Hard describes the verb threw and answers the question "how?"

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY



International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political. It is an occasion for looking back on past struggles and accomplishments, and more importantly, for looking ahead to the untapped potential and opportunities that await future generations of women.
In 1975, during International Women's Year, the United Nations began celebrating International Women's Day on 8 March. Two years later, in December 1977, the General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming a United Nations Day for Women's Rights and International Peace to be observed on any day of the year by Member States, in accordance with their historical and national traditions. In adopting its resolution, the General Assembly recognized the role of women in peace efforts and development and urged an end to discrimination and an increase of support for women's full and equal participation.
International Women's Day first emerged from the activities of labour movements at the turn of the twentieth century in North America and across Europe.
