Adjectives & Adverbs

Adverbs vs. Adjectives

Adjectives describe nouns; adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Confusing them — especially with -ly adverbs and flat adverbs — is a persistent intermediate error. Some words (fast, hard, late, early) look identical as adjectives and adverbs, while others have irregular adverb forms (good → well).
