Introduction
An adverb is a word that tells us
more about verbs. Many adverbs
tell us how something is done.
When answering the question “
how”, adverbs are usually
created from adjectives with an
added – ly ending. ( quickquickly). This is the commonest
way to use adverbs. However,
there are various exceptions:
Introduction
1. Adjectives ending in – ly:
These may have the same form as the adverb.
Example: She was a kindly and reasonable old lady.
The group went for a leisurely walk in the gardens.
Introduction
1. Adjectives ending in – ly:
They may require an adverbial phrase:
Example: John was a very friendly child, he always
treated everyone in a friendly manner.
They may not have a direct adverbial equivalent.
Example: She is a likely political candidate.
Introduction
2. Adjectives which have the same
form as adverbs:
Example: Mr. George woke up early,
and caught the early train.
Jeannie drove fast on the fast lane.
Introduction
3. Adjectives which have the same
form as adverbs, but also have a – ly
adverb with a different use:
Example: The thief looked deeply into
the manager’s eyes, and he was
deeply ashamed.

A few words, like fast, hard, late and low, take the
same form as both adjectives and adverbs.
