Adjective or Adverb?!!!

When I read about adverbs and adjectives I will be confused. So I decided to explain adverb and adjective shortly.

I’m very thankful to Joseph. He introduced Tense buster in library’s website to me. You can learn completely about adjective and adverb there. (www.torontopubliclibrary.ca)

Adjective or Adverb?!!!

We use adj. to describe nouns. We use adv. to describe verbs.

For example, we say “His work is accurate.” And “He works accurately.”

Most Adv. Are made by adding -ly to the adjectives. But be careful: not all words ending ly are adverbs. These words are adjectives: silly, friendly, lovely, leisurely.

Note: we use verb + adj. to say how someone looks, seems, is getting.

Here are some examples:

How do doctors attend to the patients? They do it continuously. (adv.)

There is a slow move towards … (adj.)

We are moving slowly towards … (adv.)

You can be sure that employers are watching developments closely. (In this example closely mention to verb not to noun.)

There is a serious need for new medication. (Need is noun)

We seriously need to new medication. (Need is verb)

Some adverbs have the same form as the adjective. Here are three examples:

You’re working very hard. (Hard=adv.)

He drives much too fast. (Fast=adv.)

She arrived late again. (Late=adv.)
