Dear contacts , our topic today is talking about a very simple lesson , also easy and funny
it is ADVERBS: How adverbs are formed
Rules
1. In most cases, an adverb is formed by adding '-ly' to an adjective:
Adjective : Cheap ===> Adverb : Cheaply
Adjective : Quick ===> Adverb : Quickly
Adjective : Slow ===> Adverb : Slowly
Examples:
Time goes quickly.
He walked slowly to the door.
She certainly had an interesting life.
He carefully picked up the sleeping child
=========================================
Rules
If the adjective ends in '-y', replace the 'y' with 'i' and add '-ly':
Adjective : Easy ===> Adverb : Easily
Adjective : Angry ===> Adverb : Angrily
Adjective : Happy ===> Adverb : Happily
Adjective : Lucky === > Adverb : Luckily
If the adjective ends in -'able', '-ible', or '-le', replace the '-e' with '-y':
Adjective : Probable ===> Adverb : Probably
Adjective : Terrible ===> Adverb : Terribly
Adjective : Gentle ===> Adverb : Gently
If the adjective ends in '-ic', add '-ally':
Adjective : Basic ===> Adverb : Basically
Adjective : Economic ===> Adverb : Economically
Adjective : Tragic ===> Adverb : Tragically
Note: Exception: public - publicly
2. Some adverbs have the same form as the adjective:
Adjective & Adverb
Early Late
Fast Near
Hard Straight
High Wrong
=========================================
Compare:
It is a fast car.
He drives very fast.
This is a hard exercise.
He works hard.
We saw many high buildings.
The bird flew high in the sky.
3. 'Well' and 'good'
'Well' is the adverb that corresponds to the adjective 'good'.
================================================
Examples:
He is a good student.
He studies well.
She is a good pianist.
She plays the piano well.
They are good swimmers.
They swim well.
