How do you define "Adverb"?

3

Level: beginner

Adverbs of manner are usually formed from adjectives by adding –ly:

  • bad > badly

  • quiet > quietly

  • sudden > suddenly

4

but sometimes there are changes in spelling:

  • easy > easily

  • gentle > gently

  • careful > carefully

5

The adverb formed from good is well:

  • You speak English very well.

6

Adverbs of manner normally come after the verb:


He spoke angrily.


or after the object:


He opened the door quietly.

10

11

Fill in the Blank

'You're late!' said Olga ___________ (angry). 'Where have you been?'

12

Level: intermediate

If an adjective already ends in -ly, we use the phrase in a …. way to express manner:

silly: He behaved in a silly way.

friendly: She spoke in a friendly way.


A few adverbs of manner have the same form as the adjective:

They all worked hard.

She usually arrives late/early.

I hate driving fast.


13

Be careful!

hardly and lately have different meanings from hard and late:


 He could hardly walk. = It was difficult for him to walk.


 I haven't seen John lately. = I haven't seen John recently.

14

We often use phrases with like as adverbials of manner:

She slept like a baby.

He ran like a rabbit.


15

Adverbials of manner and link verbs

We very often use adverbials with like after link verbs:


  • Her hands felt like ice.

  • It smells like fresh bread.

16

Be careful!

We do not use adverbs of manner after link verbs.

We use adjectives instead:

  • They looked happy. (NOT happily)

  • That bread smells delicious. (NOT deliciously)
