The same form for adjectives and adverbs




Some adverbs of manner and time have the same form as adjectives (See also Unit 1):

a) Some derived adjectives like adverbs end in –ly: lovely, lively, orderly, friendly, daily, monthly, likely. (Cf.: It was his daily duty and Most newspapers appear daily; It is a likely excuse and The rain is likely to stop.)

b) A few simple words like fast, slow, deep, early, late, well, long, hard, right, wrong, high function as either adverbs or adjectives depending on what they modify:

Adjective                                     Adverb

a fast train (modifies train)                 he ran fast (modifies ran)

a slow watch (modifies watch)            go slow (modifies go)

an early bird (modifies bird)              she came early (modifies came)

a well child (modifies child)               she played well (modifies played)

a hard chair (modifies chair)              she works hard (modifies works)

the late student (modifies student)       they slept late (modifies slept)

 

Adverbs with double forms

There are some adverbs that have two forms – one with –ly ending and one without the –ly ending. Usually the longer form with –ly is preferred, especially for writing: Don’t talk so loud/loudly. She buys her clothes cheap/cheaply. The shortened form is more likely to be used in speaking informally. Examples of these adverbs are:

   direct – directly                         slow – slowly

    tight – tightly                             close – closely

    clear – clearly                            cheap – cheaply

Using adjectives after linking and perception verbs

Linking verbs (to be, become, appear, seem, look) and the verbs of sense (taste, smell, etc.) are followed by adjectives (not adverbs!): This peach is/looks/tastes so sweet/good/wonderful. All is well that ends well. I am very well today, and you?

4. Using good and well

1) Use the adjective good to mean ‘better than average’: We had a goodtime.

BUT:Use the adverb well to mean ‘in a good way’: No one slept very well.

2) Use the adjective well after the verb to be to mean ‘in good health’, ‘comfortable’: I am well.

BUT:Use the adjective good/bad after the verb to feel: I feel good/bad. It feels good.

NOTE that the linking verb feel requires the adjective well to mean‘to be satisfactory’ and ‘well-dressed’:  She feels well in that suit.
