Time to work on your list

Adjectives & adverbs

Adjectives

-  Adjectives (bijvoegelijk naamwoorden): Words that say something about a noun. 

Examples: 

the careful driver

the angry teacher

a beautiful dress

Adverbs

- Adverbs (bijwoorden): say something about verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.

she drove carefully

• it rained heavily,

• incredibly quickly

• surprisingly easy

Adverbs 

Adverbs are USUALLY made by placing -ly at the end of an adjective  (quick --> quickly; careful-- > carefully)

Terrific --> ically --> The report has been terrifically written.

horrible--> bly --> The report has been horribly written.

easy --> ily --> He has easily won.

Exceptions

Some adverbs aren't made with -ly: 

 

  good > well          the good dog, you did well
   fast > fast             the fast car, he ran fast                 ('hardly' =
   hard > hard          the hard test, he tried hard          nauwelijks)

Altijd adjective (=bijv. nw)

Je gebruikt ook adjectives bij werkwoorden zoals:

   be / feel / look / taste / sound / smell / seem (zintuigen)
