What is an "adjunct"?
An adjunct is a word, phrase, or clause that adds extra information to a sentence but is not essential to its grammatical structure. Adjuncts provide additional context, such as time, place, manner, or reason, and can be removed without altering the basic meaning of the sentence. For example, in the sentence "She quickly ran to the store," the phrase "quickly" serves as an adjunct that describes how she ran, while "to the store" indicates where she ran. Understanding adjuncts is important for enhancing sentence clarity and detail, as they allow for richer descriptions without changing the core message.
