Okay, maybe that's not fair. I'm almost tempted to get that book for myself, to follow along and give more relevant insight, but the money is pretty tight... Hindsight 20/20, I should have tried harder to persuade you to get a book that I already have, namely "German Demystified", but oh well...
So, if neither that hint suffices, nor the book explains it further, let me know, I'll do an explanation. That's a very basic piece of grammar, and I'm as confident in that as can be.

Okay, yeah I didn't actually read the whole chapter, just looked through it to see what comes next and see how long the chapter is. I think it goes through tenses in this chapter, past/present tense. So maybe it will get explained there, I don't know.
Right now, well today it was a brief explanation of adverbs, I don't know if that will get explained better in dept or not. But it was a little confusing the way it was explained, it gave the example word "vorsichtig" and explained that adverbs keep the same spelling as the adjectives do, then went on to say that the adjectives for vorsichtig changes its form when it becomes an adjective, so it becomes vorsichtige. Okay that was a little confusing, so adverbs keep the same spelling as their adjective counterparts yet adjectives will change the spelling of the word? It just said to go back to the section that explained adjectives to review them.
