Welcome to this tutorial.

00:03.180 --> 00:08.100
Today we're going to talk about forming adverbs.

00:08.130 --> 00:09.120
Let's get started.

00:12.270 --> 00:21.580
An adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs.

00:21.820 --> 00:32.220
Notes that thing usually modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done.

00:32.220 --> 00:35.240
Have a look at the example over here.

00:35.490 --> 00:51.190
We walked really slowly the adverb slowly modifies the verb walked telling us how we walked.

00:51.330 --> 01:00.770
Remember the reform had verbs by adding L Y to an adjective for example snow.

01:00.780 --> 01:02.970
Slowly.

01:03.150 --> 01:10.770
And when adjectives and in L we keep the L and add L Y for example.

01:10.770 --> 01:24.950
Careful carefully and when adjectives and in y we change the white eye and then add L Y for example

01:25.730 --> 01:28.870
easy easily

01:31.830 --> 01:46.730
and when adjectives end in a B L E I P L E or L E we replace the E with Y for example probable probably

01:48.660 --> 01:57.800
terrible terribly gentle gently and when adjectives and in.

01:57.820 --> 02:06.260
I see we add a l l y at the end for example economy.

02:06.310 --> 02:18.790
Economy Li note that sometimes adjectives end in L Y as in friendly lively and when this happens we

02:18.790 --> 02:29.470
can not change it into an adverb by adding L Y and so it's better to use as in for example in a friendly

02:29.470 --> 02:34.850
way or manner have a look at the example below.

02:35.090 --> 02:42.830
He talked to me in a friendly manner.

02:43.020 --> 02:54.360
Note that the following adverbs have the same form as the adjective early fast hard high late near straight

02:54.690 --> 02:57.150
or wrong.

02:57.340 --> 02:58.150
Have a look.

02:58.150 --> 03:00.060
The following examples.

03:00.400 --> 03:11.340
The train is very fast fast in the sentence is an adjective and modifies the noun train and in this

03:11.340 --> 03:16.250
sentence the train goes fast fast.

03:16.300 --> 03:22.880
It's an adverb because it modifies the verb goes.

03:22.910 --> 03:27.410
Now the ad for well corresponds to the adjective good.

03:27.440 --> 03:30.460
Have a look at the example below.

03:30.560 --> 03:33.230
Tom is a good student.

03:33.230 --> 03:43.120
He studies well good in the sentence modifies the noun student and so it is an adjective.

03:44.280 --> 03:48.870
Well on the other hand is an adverb that modifies the verb.

03:48.870 --> 03:49.740
Studies

03:55.290 --> 04:04.480
in the adverb hardly is not related to the meaning of hard the adverb hardly has the meaning almost

04:04.480 --> 04:16.040
not half a look at the example below hardly any one writes to me this day's meaning almost no one writes

04:16.040 --> 04:17.870
to me these days.

04:18.110 --> 04:26.030
And in this sentence Susan eat hardly anything means Susan eat almost nothing.
