This document discusses the differences between adverbs and adjectives, as well as the uses of "used to" versus "would". It explains that adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs, while adjectives describe or modify nouns. Common adverbs of manner are formed by adding "-ly" to adjectives. The document also clarifies that "used to" refers to past habits that are no longer occurring, while "would" refers to past habits that are now less frequent.
2. ADVERBS VS ADECTIVES
ADVERBS
Adverbs are words that modify
a VERB (He drove slowly. — How
did he drive?)
an adjective (He drove a very fast
car. — How fast was his car?)
another adverb (She
moved quite slowly down the aisle.
— How slowly did she move?)
ADJECTIVES
Adjectives are words that describe
or modify another person or thing
in the sentence. The Articles —
a, an, and the — are adjectives.
the tall professor
the lugubrious lieutenant
a solid commitment

3. ADVERBS OF MANNER
Adverbs of manner are usually formed from adjectives by
adding –ly:
bad > badly; quiet > quietly; recent > recently; sudden
> suddenly
but there are sometimes changes in spelling:
easy > easily; gentle > gently
If an adjective ends in –ly we use the phrase in a ….
way to express manner:
Silly > He behaved in a silly way.
Friendly > She spoke in a friendly way.
