¿QUÉ VOY A APRENDER? (PRESENTATION)
An adverb is a word that
describes how, where, or with what frequency we do an action (or ‘verb’). For example,
·
She works
here. (adverb of place)
·
She often
translates emails for her colleagues. (adverb of frequency)
·
She types very
quickly. (adverb of manner)
An adverb of manner
describes how you do an action. For
example,
·
They dress elegantly.
·
She works very hard.
Adverbs of manner are
really useful because they let us add a lot of extra details to descriptions,
to make what we say more interesting and dynamic to the listener or reader.
How to create an adverb of
manner
To make adverbs of manner,
we usually add -ly to the adjective. For
example,
·
quick – quickly
·
careful – carefully
·
gentle – gently
When an adjective ends in
-y we change the -y to -i then add -ly. For
example,
·
happy – happily
·
easy – easily
However, there are also
some irregular adverbs:
·
good – well
·
hard – hard
·
fast – fast
·
late – late
·
straight – straight
·
high – high
Here are some examples:
·
You speak English fluently.
·
I slept badly last night.
·
The children did really well in their test.
·
He worked hard and got a promotion.
Adverbs of manner go after
the verb or verb phrase.
I can drive well. I can
drive a car well
