ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS

3. 1) Adverbs and Adjectives are both
modifiers, so it is easy to confuse
them with each other. And even
more confusingly, some words
sometimes act as adjectives, and
sometimes act as adverbs.

4. Hint: Ask yourself which word is being described:
adjectives always modify nouns or pronouns, but
adverbs never do.
Sarah was a little sleepy. (adverb modifying
adjective sleepy)
Sarah took a little nap. (adjective modifying noun
nap)

5. 2) Use the comparative degree of an adjective or an
adverb when speaking of two things and the superlative
degreee when speaking of three or more:
This is the larger of the two roooms.
This white one is the smallest of the three puppies.

6. Good vs well
Good is an adjective. The adverb is well.
Ex: My father is a good driver -> He drives well.
Your English is good -> You speak English well.
I feel good. (psychologically / morally)
I feel well. (healthy / well being)
You must study in bed until you feel well / better /
good.
I hope you will get well / better / good soon.
