USING ADVERBS

*Adverbs modify verbs. They tell you how something is done.

Example: How does she sing? - She sings beautifully

Rule: adverbs are often formed by adding-ly to an objective

Example: beautiful - beautifully, careful - carefully

BE CAREFUL!

*some adverbs don't change in the adverb form

Example: fast, hard

*good is probably the most important exception. the adverb form of 'good' is 'well'
unfortunately, this is a common mistake

for instance you would not say- He plays tennis good
