Adjectives
Adverbs

Adjectives describe nouns. They have the same form in the singular and plural.
next
back
a red car –
(two) red cars

Adjectives go before nouns or can be used alone after the verb to be and after verbs such as look, smell, sound, feel, taste etc.

next
back
a large box; Mary is tall. You look sad. It smells horrible.

There are two kinds of adjectives:

Opinion adjectives
Fact adjectives
Show what a person thinks of somebody or something
beautiful, lovely, great, expensive, etc.
Give us factual information about somebody or something (size, weight, colour, shape, etc.)
short, square, yellow, cotton, etc.
Opinion adjectives go before fact adjectives.

next
back
a beautiful silk scarf

How we use adjectives:
When there are two or more adjectives in a sentence, they go in the following order:
An expensive, red, leather suitcase
next
back

Adverbs describe verbs, other adverbs or adjectives.

next
back
He works hard.
He runs very fast.
She is extremely polite.

Adverbs usually go after verbs. They can also go before verbs (adverbs of frequency).


next
back
She spoke softly.
He always drives carefully.

How we form adverbs:
wonderful - wonderfully
next
back
We usually form an adverb by adding –ly to the adjective.
dangerous – dangerously
When the adjective ends in –le we drop the –e and add –y.
gentle – gently
easy - easily
When the adjective ends in –l we add –ly.
When the adjective ends in a consonant + y we drop the –y and add –ily

But some adverbs have either a totally different form or the same form as the adjective:

adjective
adverb
good
fast
hard
early
late
well
fast
hard
early
late
