Take notes!

Write down this explanation in your notebook. 

Adjectives describe nouns.

  1. a big dog
  2. a careful driver

Adverbs describe verbs.

  1. She ran quickly.
  2. He drives too fast.

To form regular adverbs, add -ly to the adjective. Words ending in -y change to -ily. For example, easy becomes easily.

 

HOWEVER!

Some adverbs are irregular! The adjectives are in blue and the adverbs are in red.

Example sentences:

  1. He is a good singer.
  2. He sings well.

Good tells us about the singer and well tells us HOW he sings.
