Fill in the blank with the correct Adverb -
He was kind _____ to help me.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → enough
An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
Complete sentence: He was kind enough to help me. "He was kind enough to help me" means he was so kind that he helped me.
| Option | What it tells | Example |
|---|---|---|
| (1) always | "Always" is an adverb of frequency that normally comes before the main verb or after "be" ("He was always kind"). "Kind always to help me" is not English. | – |
| (2) much | "Much" does not follow a plain adjective like "kind". We say "very kind" or "much kinder". | – |
| (3) since | "Since" refers to time or reason (since Monday, since you ask). "Kind since to help me" makes no sense. | – |
| (4) enough (answer) | As an adverb, enough means to the necessary degree. It comes after the adjective it modifies and is often followed by a to-infinitive: adjective + enough + to + verb. | She is old enough to travel alone. |
Contrast: enough comes after the adjective (kind enough). Very comes before it (very kind).
