The rules
- An adjective describes a noun, and an adverb (often ending in -ly) describes a verb, an adjective or another adverb: The quiet boy spoke quietly.
- After linking verbs like be, seem, feel, look, smell and taste, use an adjective, not an adverb: The soup smells delicious.
- Good is an adjective and well is its adverb, though well can also mean healthy: She is a good singer and sings well.
- Hard and late are both adjectives and adverbs, while hardly means almost not and lately means recently: He worked hard but has hardly slept lately.
- Some words ending in -ly, like friendly and lovely, are adjectives, so use a phrase to describe an action: She greeted us in a friendly way.
- Use so before an adjective or adverb, such before a noun phrase, too before an adjective, and enough after it: It was such a hot day that the box was too heavy, and I was not strong enough.
- Several adjectives go in the order opinion, size, age, shape, color, origin, material: a lovely small old round red clay pot.
