How to make a sentence dri electronics - 1. The adverbs and the adjectives in English

Adjectives tell us something about a person or a thing. Adjectives can modify nouns (here: girl) or pronouns (here: she).

Adverbs tell us in what way someone does something. Adverbs can modify verbs (here: drive), adjectives or other adverbs.
adjective     adverb
Mandy is a careful girl.     Mandy drives carefully.
She is very careful.
    She drives carefully.

Mandy is a careful driver. This sentence is about Mandy, the driver, so use the adjective.

Mandy drives carefully. This sentence is about her way of driving, so use the adverb.
2. Form

Adjective + -ly
adjective     adverb
dangerous     dangerously
careful     carefully
nice     nicely
horrible     horribly
easy     easily
electronic     electronically

Irregular forms:
adjective     adverb
good     well
fast     fast
hard     hard

If the adjective ends in -y, change -y to -i. Then add -ly:

    happy – happily

but:

    shy – shyly

If the adjective ends in -le, the adverb ends in -ly:

    terrible – terribly

If the adjective ends in -e, then add -ly:

    safe – safely

► Not all words ending in -ly are adverbs:

    adjectives ending in -ly: friendly, silly, lonely, ugly
    nouns, ending in -ly: ally, bully, Italy, melancholy
    verbs, ending in -ly: apply, rely, supply

There is no adverb for an adjective ending in -ly.

5. How do know whether to use an adjective or an adverb?

John is a careful driver. – In this sentences we say how John is – careful. If we want to say that the careful John did not drive the usual way yesterday – we have to use the adverb:

    John did not drive carefully yesterday.

Here is another example:

    I am a slow walker. (How am I? → slow → adjective)
    I walk slowly. (Ho do I walk? → slowly → adverb)

6. Adjective or Adverb after special verbs

Both adjectives and adverbs may be used after look, smell and taste. Mind the change in meaning.

Here are two examples:
adjective     adverb
The pizza tastes good.
(How is the pizza?)     Jamie Oliver can taste well.
(How can Jamie Oliver taste?)
Peter's feet smell bad.
(How are his feet?)     Peter can smell badly.
(How can Peter smell?)

Do not get confused with good/well.

    Linda looks good. (What type of person is she?)
    Linda looks well. (How is Linda? – She may have been ill, but now she is fit again.)
    How are you? – I'm well, thank you.

One can assume that in the second/third sentence the adverb well is used, but this is wrong – well can be an adjective (meaning fit/healthy), or an adverb of the adjective good.
Conclusion:

    Use the adjective when you say something about the person itself.
    Use the adverb, when you want to say about the action.
