K Adverbs 副词


✒ An adverb can be a word or a phrase that describes or modif es a verb, an adjective

 We can form most adverbs by adding ‘-ly’ to an adjective. Here are some basic rules
about forming adverbs:
大多数的副词是由形容词加上“-ly”所构成。以下是构成副词的基本规则：

Adjectives Ending Basic Rule Adjective Adverb
形容词的词尾 基本规则 形容词 副词

most adjectives add ‘-ly’ slow slowly
大多数形容词 加上“-ly” quick quickly


‘-able’ or ‘-ible’ change ‘-e’ to ‘-y’ honourable honourably
“-able”或“-ible” 把“-e”转换成“-y” terrible terribly

change ‘-y’ to ‘-ily’ easy easily
‘-y’
把“-y”转换成“-ily” angry angrily


change ‘-ic’ to ‘-ically’ economic economically
‘-ic’
把“-ic”转换成“-ically” scientif c scientifically



 However, not all words that end in ‘-ly’ are adverbs. They can be adjectives instead.
Examples of such words are:
然而，不是所有以“-ly”结尾的词语都是副词，它们可以是形容词。例如：


friendly lovely lonely silly ugly


 There are also some adverbs which have no particular form. Examples of such adverbs
are:
有些副词没有特定的形式，例如：


well fast hard late early daily
