"English Grammar in Familiar Lectures"

Friendship _often_ ends in love; but love
in friendship, _never_.
NOTE. Several adverbs frequently qualify one verb. Have you walked? _Not
yet quite far enough, perhaps. Not, yet, far_, and _enough_, qualify
"have walked" understood; _perhaps_ qualifies _not_; and _quite_
qualifies _far_. The adverbs _always_ and _carefully_ both qualify the
verb "drive:" the former expresses _time_, and the latter, _manner.
Once_ and _voluntarily_ qualify the verb "contributed;" the former
expresses _number_, and the latter, _manner_. The word _their_ you need
not parse. The active verb _to save_ has no nominative. The nouns _love_
and _friendship_, following _in_, are in the objective case, and
governed by that preposition.
REMARKS ON ADVERBS.
When the words _therefore, consequently, accordingly_, and the like,
are used in connexion with other conjunctions, they are _adverbs_; but
when they appear single, they are commonly considered _conjunctions_.
The words _when_ and _where_, and all others of the same nature, such as
_whence, whither, whenever, wherever, till, until, before, otherwise,
while, wherefore_, &c.
