TODAY'S TOPIC

ADJECTIVES OR ADVERBS

For many people it is ratter difficult to differenciate if the words endind in -ly belong to adjectives or adverbs.

So here is a kind of rule. Key is quite simple.

All depends on what kind of word results when dropping the -ly end of the word.

If the word removed the -ly end results in a noun, the word is an adjective, and if the word removed the -ly end results in an adjective, the world is and adverb.

Let me show you with an example.

Adjective ______Noun
heavenly _____heaven
wifely ______wife

Adverb _______Adjective
quietly _______quiet
sweetly ______ sweet

Most difficult English Topic for Learning

Difficult English Topics to Learn

What's the most difficult topic for learning the English language as an ESL student?

Well to my view an aspect rather difficult of learning and managing are adverbs because there is a great quantity of them.

There are some kinds of adverbs and in each category or kind there also is a great quantity of them that I can't remember exactly how they work, I mean the place they use in the structure, what they mean exactly , and of couse the the applicable rules to each one.

I have studied adverbs many times, but I often get lost in the subject due to the huge number of them, and the topic becomes pretty boring resulting in a drop until the next time that I want to resume the subject of so-called adverbs.

Please comment about the topic.
