Choosing between Adjective and Adverb Forms

Many adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the end of an adjective. To decide whether to use an adjective form or an adverb form, find the word you want to describe. If that word is a noun or a pronoun, use the adjective form. If it is a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, use the adverb form.
