Hi
Should it be "to live healthy" or "to live healthily"?
Thank you for your answers.

hello,

It is " to live healthily'. " healthy" is the adjective that refers to the quality/property of something which is good for one's health. " healthily" is the adverb which means "in a healthy way".

After a verb you always put an adverb and not an adjective which can only be found before the noun to which it refers or after the noun when preceded by the auxiliary ' to be' => it is healthy.

I hope I made myself clear

Sébastien
