Mariane Santiago🏃♀️He ran quick or quickly ? 👩🎤She sang perfect or perfectly? 🚗 He drives careful or carefully? Today's class will be about Adjectives vs Adverbs
And Adverbs…
ADJECTIVES can come before nouns or after linking verbs.
- He dropped the hot plate.
- I have a black cat.
- The small boy ran down the street.
- What a beautiful view!
- He seems tired.
- The view is beautiful.
- The weather became cold.
- My cat is black.
*Linking verbs are verbs like 'be', 'become' and 'seem' which are not actions but instead link the subject to an adjective, noun or phrase that gives us more information about the subject
ADVERB or ADJECTIVE? Look at the difference in meaning
- He smells the hot soup carefully. (Here we are talking about the action of smelling.)
- The soup smells good. (Here we are talking about the soup.)
- He looked tiredly at the dirty kitchen. (Here we are talking about the action of looking. We use an adverb to describe the way of looking.)
- You look beautiful. (Here we are using 'look' to give more information about the person. We can replace 'look' with 'are' and the sentence still makes sense.)
Normally, we make an adverb by adding 'ly' to an adjective.
Adjectives

Hard / Hard / hardly
'Hard' is both an adjective and an adverb.

'Hardly' is also an adverb, but it means 'almost nothing' or 'almost none'.

'Late' is an adjective and an adverb. There is also an adverb 'lately', which means 'recently'.
