Welcome to this tutorial.
Today we're going to talk about forming adverbs.
Let's get started.
An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs.
Notes that thing usually modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done.
Have a look at the example over here.
We walked really slowly the adverb slowly modifies the verb walked telling us how we walked.
Remember the reform had verbs by adding L Y to an adjective for example snow.
Slowly.
And when adjectives and in L we keep the L and add L Y for example.
Careful carefully and when adjectives and in y we change the white eye and then add L Y for example
easy easily
and when adjectives end in a B L E I P L E or L E we replace the E with Y for example probable probably
terrible terribly gentle gently and when adjectives and in.
I see we add a l l y at the end for example economy.
Economy Li note that sometimes adjectives end in L Y as in friendly lively and when this happens we
can not change it into an adverb by adding L Y and so it's better to use as in for example in a friendly
way or manner have a look at the example below.
He talked to me in a friendly manner.
Note that the following adverbs have the same form as the adjective early fast hard high late near straight
or wrong.
Have a look.
The following examples.
The train is very fast fast in the sentence is an adjective and modifies the noun train and in this
sentence the train goes fast fast.
It's an adverb because it modifies the verb goes.
Now the ad for well corresponds to the adjective good.
Have a look at the example below.
Tom is a good student.
He studies well good in the sentence modifies the noun student and so it is an adjective.
Well on the other hand is an adverb that modifies the verb.
Studies
in the adverb hardly is not related to the meaning of hard the adverb hardly has the meaning almost
not half a look at the example below hardly any one writes to me this day's meaning almost no one writes
to me these days.
And in this sentence Susan eat hardly anything means Susan eat almost nothing.
