MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

5 mins • 1 pt

I speak English..........., but I speak Spanish............

good, bad

well, bad

well, badly

good, badly

Answer explanation

We use adverbs because we're describing how the action (speaking) is done.

  • Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things).
    For example: "He is a good speaker"

  • Adverbs describe verbs, in this case "speak"
    For example: "I speak English well" — here, well describes the verb "speak," telling us the manner of speaking. Similarly, "I speak Spanish badly" describes how the action of speaking Spanish is done.

So, well and badly are the correct answer because they are adverbs that modify the verb "speak."

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

I have many ............... group mates

well

amazingly

good

Answer explanation

The correct answer is:
I have got many good group mates.

  • "Good" is an adjective because it's describing group mates (a noun).

  • "Well" and "amazingly" are adverbs, and they describe actions (verbs), not nouns, so they wouldn't fit here.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

5 mins • 1 pt

I don't play tennis very .................

good

bad

well

goodly

Answer explanation

The correct sentence is:
I don't play tennis very well.

"well" is the adverb form of "good".

  • Good is an adjective that describes a noun. For example: "She is a good player."

  • Well is an adverb that describes a verb

"goodly" is not a standard word in English.

We use "well" because it is an adverb that modifies the verb "play"
