Adiectives and adverbs

Adjectives are words that describe a noun or a pnonoun We use adverbs to describe verbs

Often,adverbs are formed by adding -t to adjectives But words with a -t ending such as /ove/1tfriendly and lively arc odjectives and cannot be used as adverbs.

We.can use an adverb before an adjective to modify its meaning (My bag is te bty heavy I The food is

rcally nice.) Good and wel/ have similar meanings, but we use good as an adjective and l,yel/ as an aoverD_

Some words can be both adjectives and adverbs (fast, /ate, hard).
