I just received an email notifying me of a comment that I don't see here. I want to address it because it was a really good question. So, the question was "What's the adverb form of 'ugly' and 'friendly'?" They both end in "ly", which makes them appear to be adverbs. Of course, we know that they're adjectives. My first reaction was to say that they can't be adjectives. Take "ugly", we don't say "uglily", which would be the logical answer. I did some research and found one person who thought that "uglily" would be correct. I disagree. It may be an ancient way to use "ugly" as an adverb, but I've never (in my 64 years of life) heard that word used. I also found an entry in the Websters dictionary that stated that "ugly" could be used as an adverb. Here's the example "He was acting in an ugly manner." The problem here, is that when we say . . . in an ugly manner, we're using ugly as an adjective to describe "manner". What's up, Webster's? As for "friendly", it shows in that same dictionary that "friendly" can be an adverb and it means "in a friendly manner", but I can't think of a way to say this without using "friendly" as an adjective. Just like "ugly". So, I disagree with Webster's dictionary. Friendly and ugly are adjectives that do not have an adverb form. You might find someone who will tell you there is, but I don't agree. We don't use them in this way. It's best to use other adverbs to describe the action of being ugly or friendly. Hope that gets to the right person (N.) and I hope it helps!

You’re very welcome! I hope they’re helpful for you. (By the way, it should be “clear videos”, not “clearly”. That’s an adverb and you need an adjective.)

Thank you so much! I'm glad about this lesson. I'm learning English slowly :) but you said ''just be kind to yourself'' this sentence really important to me! I've a pretty question for you (I'm using adverbs of manner btw) My issue is this: I know and also I use this grammar topic and this degree is probably B1 level. But sometimes I got mistakes a1-a2 topics. everything is so confused and I don't know which level should I study?

Hi there and thank you for your comment! I must say first that I'm an American, so the CEFR (Common European Framework of References for Languages) isn't something I'm very knowledgable about. We don't use that system in the US. So, my advice to you is to study anything you find that you didn't know before. If you have to choose a level, then try to talk with a prospective teacher, if you're thinking of taking a formal class. If you're just going to be finding lessons online, then try something that you think will be easy and just see if there's anything there that you need. If it's too easy, find something harder. If you chose something too hard, then find easier lessons. In the US, we usually use Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced or Levels 1-5 or 1-6, 1 being beginner levels. We have various tests used for placement (for example, TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language - or TOEIC - Test of English for International Communication), so if you plan to study English here, you need to be aware of those. Let me know if you have any more questions. You can write to me at my email for this channel and I'd be glad to help you in any way I can. alexseslworld@gmail.com

Dear Mam, I am from Pakistan .Your lectures are very informative and it helps me a lot.Thanks for doing this wonderful job 👌👌 I want to ask a question from u I hope you will explain to me as soon. "He spoke very loud " is an adverb of degree or Adverb of manner. I think it is adverb of manner because it is not placed between verb and object..... Please reply me soon with explanation.....Waiting for your reply....Thank you so much..

Hi Muhammad. I'm glad my lectures are helping you. Now, about your sentence and the adverb, very. First, we need to correct your sentence. It should be "He spoke very loudly." "Loud" is an adjective and it should be an adverb since it's about how he spoke. "Very" is usually an adverb of degree because it's telling you how much. In this case, you might ask "How loudly did he speak?" and the answer would be "very loudly". Adverbs of manner are usually the ones that end in -ly. Hope that helps!

@@muhammadumaryounas Sorry, I missed this one. I see your confusion. I think the best way to figure out which type of adverb you have is to ask yourself does it show how something is done or to what degree something is done, or how much? (Ex: He spoke loudly.) In that case, "loudly" shows how he spoke, so that is an adverb of Manner. When you include "very", you have two adverbs and "very" modifies "loudly". Ask yourself how loudly he spoke. That shows the degree of loudness. That makes it an adverb of Degree. I hope I didn't confuse you.
