Wait, How Did He Do That?
Imagine a world where people only talked about what they did, but never how they did it!
If I say 'The boy walked,' you don't know if he was tired, happy, or in a hurry.
Did he walk slowly or quickly?
🧠
The Secret Rule: Adjectives to Adverbs
Most adverbs of manner are made by taking an adjective and adding -ly to the end.
Quiet + ly = Quietly
Careful + ly = Carefully
Loud + ly = Loudly
Remember
If the adjective ends in 'y' like 'Happy', we change the 'y' to an 'i' first: Happily!
