Zorluk: OrtaVerb and Adverb Suffixes

Complete the sentence by providing the adverb formed from the base word shore that indicates movement in that direction.

Cevap:To avoid the approaching storm, the navigator steered the vessel 【shoreward】 toward the protective harbor.

Cevap

shoreward (or shorewards)
The correct response is 'shoreward' (or 'shorewards'). The suffix '-ward' (and its variant '-wards') attaches to base nouns or adverbs to form adverbs indicating a specific direction of motion or spatial orientation.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the base word and the required part of speech.
The base word is 'shore', and the context requires an adverb describing the direction of the vessel's movement.
The sentence modifies the verb 'steered' to show where the vessel was directed.
2
Select and attach the appropriate directional adverb suffix.
Attaching '-ward' or '-wards' to 'shore' produces 'shoreward' or 'shorewards'.
The suffix '-ward' (or '-wards') derives adverbs from nouns to denote spatial direction or movement toward a specified point.
