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
