 Adverbs are used to describe verbs, adjectives or other
adverbs. They are often (but not always) made by
adding 'ly' to the adjective.

I walked slowly ('slowly' tells us about the verb 'walk’).

Task 3: Grammar • They worked quickly.

- Adverbs We make the comparative and superlative forms of

adverbs by using 'more / most’.

• She sang loudly.

• She sang more loudly than her friend.
• She sang most loudly in the class.
Normally, we make an adverb by adding 'ly' to an adjective.

• Careful (adjective): He is always careful.

• Carefully (adverb): She put the glasses down carefully.

• Quiet (adjective): This is a quiet room.

• Quietly (adverb): She spoke quietly.

• Bad (adjective): This coffee is bad!

• Badly (adverb): He sings badly!

If the adjective ends in 'y', we change 'y' to 'i' and add 'ly'. If the adjective ends in 'le', we drop 'e' and add
'y’.

• Happy (adjective): She looks very happy.

• Happily (adverb): He sang happily.

• Gentle (adjective): It's a gentle cat.

• Gently (adverb): He stroked the cat gently.
However, there are some exceptions.

• Fast (adjective): That's a fast car.

• Fast (adverb): She walks fast.

• Early (adjective): She was early for the meeting.

• Early (adverb): He arrived early.

• Late (adjective): He is always late!

• Late (adverb): He got up late this morning ('lately' is also an adverb but means
'recently’).

• Good (adjective): That is a good book.

• Well (adverb): She did well on the exam ('well' can also be an adjective; see below).

• Hard (adjective): Math is hard!

• Hard (adverb): She tried hard ('hardly' is also an adverb, but means 'almost none’)
Adjective or adverb?
In English most (but not all) adverbs have a different form (spelling) than their
corresponding adjective. It is important, therefore, that you know whether you
need an adjective or an adverb in the sentences you want to say or write.

Generally, adjectives are used to describe nouns and adverbs are used with verbs
to say how things are done.

• He's a beautiful singer. - He sings beautifully.

• She's a very quick runner. - She can run very quickly.
• He's a careless writer. - He writes carelessly.
• She's a good worker. - She works well.
Practice!

1. I love the smell of fresh/freshly baked bread in the morning.

2. She makes the most delicious/deliciously food.
3. He runs a very successful/successfully restaurant.
4. This restaurant is nice, but it's very expensive/expensively.
5. The critic complained angry/angrily about the bad service.
6. We are expecting important/importantly guests for dinner.
