Adjective / Adverb

    1. Introduction:

An adjective describes a noun: - The boy had a quiet voice. - It 's a nice T-shirt. - She wears expensive clothes. - The runners made a slow start.

An adverb describes a verb: - The man spoke quietly. - The T-shirt is nicely. - She dresses expensively. - They started slowly.

    2. Form:

      We form many adverbs from an adjective + LY:

          Quick = quickly

          Polite = politely

          Careful = carefully

       If an adjective ends with Y, the adverb ends with ILY:

          Easy = easily

          angry = angrily

    If an adjective ends with BLE, the adverb ends with BLY:

         Probable = probably

       If an adjective ends with IC, the adverb ends with ICALLY:

         Dramatic = dramatically

         automatic = automatically

       Irregular forms:

         Good = well

         hard = hard
  
        fast  = fast

    3. Adjectives after verbs:

       We also use adjectives after some verbs (be, look, seem, appear ...)

         - Mike looked angry.

         - Please be quiet!
