Adjectives and adverbs

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 on the exam, (not 'did so bad')

• Why do you never take me seriously?

She speaks English perfectly.

       Verb + object + adverb

Tom looked at me sadly. (= he looked at me in a sad way)

C- W e also use adverbs before adjectives and other adverbs. For example:

- reasonably cheap è (adverb + adjective)
- terribly sorry        è (adverb + adjective)
- incredibly quickly  è (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/ organised/ written etc.):

• Two people were seriously injured in the accident, (not 'serious injured')

• The meeting was very badly organised.
