Adjectives and Adverbs

  Adjectives: kind, cold, angry, bad, mad. . . .

  Adverbs: kindly, coldly, angrily, badly, madly. . . .

To form an adverb we usually add –ly to an adjective:

Example: kind+ ly kindly

  bad+ ly badly

Adjectives ending in “ - y” change it to “ - ily”

Example: angry - angrily

  happy - happily

We use adjectives to say how something is, seems, becomes, looks, feels, sounds or tastes.

Example: She is kind. She seems kind.

  He is angry. He felt angry.

We use adverbs with other verbs to say how something happens or is done.

Example: She spoke kindly.

  He answered me coldly.

Some adverbs are the same as their adjectives

I love travelling on any vehicle that goes fastly. The Bullet Train in Japan is very fast indeed! It is so smooth, you hardly notice its speed. It is extremely punctual, but if it arrives lately, you can get your money back. You can see very good out of the train windows and admire Mount Fujiyama. Some people take it easy and enjoy the trip, eating a meal slow, while the train moves quick across the country. Others like to work hard before they get to the offi ce. The train is highly regarded throughout the world. A ride on the Bullet train really is an experience.
