RULES
   Generally, if a word answers the question
    how, it is an adverb. If it can have an - ly
    added to it, place it there.

 Examples:
 She thinks slow/slowly.
 She thinks how? slowly.
   The word good is an adjective, while well
    is an adverb.

 Examples:
 You did a good job.
 Good describes the job.
 You did the job well.
 Well answers how.
 You smell good today.
   When referring to
    health, use well rather
    than good.

 Example:
 I do not feel well. You do
  not look well today.
   You may use good with
    feel when you are not
    referring to health.

 Example:
 I feel good about my
  decision to learn Spanish
   A common error in using adjectives and
    adverbs arises from using the wrong form for
    comparison.

   For instance, to describe one thing we
    would say poor, as in, "She is poor." To
    compare two things, we should say
    poorer, as in, "She is the poorer of the two
    women." To compare more than two
    things, we should say poorest, as in, "She is
    the poorest of them all."
 One          Two          Three or
 Sweet        Sweeter       More
 Bad          worse        sweetest

 efficient    more         worst

                efficient    most
                              efficient
   When this, that, these, and those are
    followed by nouns, they are adjectives.
    When they appear without a noun
    following them, they are pronouns.

   Examples:
   This house is for sale.
   This is an adjective here.
   This is for sale.
   This is a pronoun here.
   This and that are singular, whether they are
    being used as adjectives or as pronouns.
    This points to something nearby while that
    points to something "over there.“

   Examples:

   This dog is mine.
   That dog is hers.
   This is mine.
   That is hers.
   These and those are plural, whether they
    are being used as adjectives or as
    pronouns. These points to something
    nearby while those points to something
    "over there."
 These babies have been smiling for a
  long time.
 These are mine. Those babies have been
  crying for hours. Those are yours.
 Use than to show comparison. Use then
  to answer the question when.
 Examples:
 I would rather go skiing
  than rock climbing.
 First we went skiing;
  then we went rock climbing.
