A. Look at these examples:
* Our holiday was too short - the time went very quickly.
* The driver of the car was seriously injured in the accident.
Quickly and seriously are adverbs. Many adverbs are made from an adjective + -1y:
adjective: quick serious careful quiet heavy bad
adverb: quickly seriously carefully quietly heavily badlyNot all words ending in - ly are adverbs. Some adjectives end in -ly too,
for example:
friendly lively elderly lonely silly lovely
B. Adjective or Adverb?
#1 Adjectives (quick/careful etc.) tell us about a noun. We use adjectives before nouns and after some verbs, especially be:
* Tom is a careful driver. (not 'a carefully driver')
* We didn't go out because of the heavy rain.
* Please be quiet.
* I was disappointed that my exam results were so bad.
We also use adjectives after the verbs look/feel/sound etc.Why do you always look so serious?
#2 Adverbs (quickly/carefully etc.) tell us about a verb. An adverb tells us how somebody does something or how something happens:
* Tom drove carefully along the narrow road. (not 'drove careful')
* We didn't go out because it was raining heavily. (not 'raining heavy')
* Please speak quietly. (not 'speak quiet')
* I was disappointed that I did so badly in the exam. (not 'did so bad')
Why do you never take me seriously?Compare:
* She speaks perfect English.(adjective + noun)
* She speaks English perfectly.(verb + object + adverb)
Compare these sentences with look:
* Tom looked sad when I saw him. (= he seemed sad, his expression was sad)
* Tom looked at me sadly. (= he looked at me in a sad way)
C. We also use adverbs before adjectives and other adverbs. For example:
reasonably cheap (adverb + adjective)
terribly sorry (adverb + adjective)
incredibly quickly (adverb + adverb)
* It's a reasonably cheap restaurant and the food is extremely good.
* Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I didn't mean to push you. (not 'terrible sorry')
* Maria learns languages incredibly quickly.
* The examination was surprisingly easy.
You can also use an adverb before a past participle (injured/organized/written etc.)
* Two people were seriously injured in the accident. (not 'serious injured')
* The meeting was very badly organized.
