"Very" isn't an adverb, altho it's often called that. It's a modifier, which can modify both adjectives and adverbs. One way of doing this is making them adjectives, so that they have to agree with the adjectives that they modify, thus, for example: the-masc.sing.nom very-masc.sing.nom old-masc.sing.nom man-masc.sing.nom. -- "It's bad manners to talk about ropes in the house of a man whose father was hanged." - Irish proverb http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-name: NikTailor
