ADJECTIVE OR ADVERB?

Adjectives qualify nouns. They are used before

them or after certain verbs like:

be, become, feel,

look, seem, get, taste, smell.

She bought a

nice

dress.

Her dress is

nice

.

You look

tired.

Adverbs qualify the action expressed by the verb.

They always walk

quickly

.

Adverbs are formed by adding the suffix –ly to the

adjective. When the adjective ends in –ly, we use a

prepositional phrase instead.

They spoke to me in a

friendly

way.

When we add the –ly suffix there are some spelling

changes:

“-le”

changes to

“-ly”

gentle gently

“-y”

changes to

“-ily”

easy easily

“-ic”

changes to

“-ically”

automatic automatically

“-ue”

changes to

“-uly”

true truly

“-ll”

changes to

“-lly”

full fully

Some adverbs have the same from as the adjective:

FAST

- She is a fast driver – She drives fast

HARD

- It was a hard exam – She studied hard.

LATE

- You are late- Peter arrived late.

The adverb of the adjective “good” is “well”.
