Adverbs
Adverbs of manner (answer the question how?)
Many adverbs of manner are made from adjectives + -ly:
quick - quickly; wide - widely; bad - badly
BUT: Irregular form : good - well
She is a good singer. She sings well.
To form adverbs from adjectives ending in -ly (friendly, cowardly, lonely, lovely, etc.) we use adverbial phrases: in a ... way/manner/fashion
Meg always greets me in a friendly way.
Some adverbs have the same form as adjectives: fast, little, early, far
He's got a fast car. - He drives fast.
My sister is a little girl. - He knows little of other countries.
She's in her early teens. - He gets up early.
He comes from the far north of Scotland. - Does he live far?
Some adverbs have two forms and different meanings:
a) without -ly
hard, late, high, near;
He works hard. (= He works a lot.)
They usually come home late. (= They come home near the end of the day.)
I can jump high. (= I can jump at a height of about 1 metre.)
He lives quite near. (= He lives not far from here.)
b) with -ly
hardly, lately, highly, nearly (adverb of degree).
He hardly earns any money. (= He doesn't earn enough money.)
He is a highly successful salesman. (= He is a very successful salesman.)
lately = recently (is used in the Present Perfect Tense)
I'm nearly ready. (I'm almost ready.)
