Lesson 3 - Adverbs 3

Hello everybody and welcome to our today’s lesson about Adverbs of Manner

These adverbs explain how something happens. They are usually situated after the verb or the object. We usually add ‘ly’ to an adjective to make an adverb of manner. For example: quick – quickly, absolute - absolutely, slow – slowly, sudden - suddenly

Some adjectives-adverbs are irregular (we don’t add ‘ly’ to make the adverb). For example: good – well, hard – hard, fast – fast, daily - daily

              Do you like the Irish Weather?

The weather in Ireland changes quickly. Sometimes you can precisely identify the four seasons in a single day. You get up in the morning and it’s a nice day but it changes slowly and suddenly you realize it is raining. Sometimes it is hard to live with this weather but on the other hand Ireland is so beautiful and abundantly green because of that.

Do you agree with the story?, We do. Now, find and underline the adverbs of manner. Don’t forget take a look to their position in each sentence as well (review our last lessons about the position of the adverbs, go to the last lesson).
