🏃 Grammar A2-8: Adverbs of manner

The Fleydo A2 material on adverbs of manner, built around the single decision that drives the whole topic: is the word describing a thing, or the doing? A careful driver drives carefully. The material opens with the question that finds an adverb — How? — then gives the four spelling patterns that turn an adjective into an -ly adverb, including happy to happily and terrible to terribly. A full comparison with a verdict, a four-step decision procedure and three worked examples show the reasoning before any drilling starts. The irregular adverbs get a section of their own, with reveal cards and the hardly and lately traps spelled out. Practice runs to four scored sets of eight, a ten-piece sorting task, six real learner errors to repair and a closing unhinted test with a scored result band. Every answer explains the reason, never just the verdict. Teacher notes give a 45-minute sequence, the two-column board move, what to do with a stuck learner and the Cambridge A2 Key relevance.

auto_fix_high Grammar Points

  • Adjective describes a noun; adverb of manner describes a verb — a careful driver drives carefully
  • adjective + -ly = adverb of manner; the adverb answers the question How?
  • Spelling: consonant + y becomes -ily, -le becomes -ly, -ic becomes -ally
  • Irregular adverbs: good becomes well; fast, hard, late, early and straight do not change
  • After be, look, feel, sound, smell and taste the adjective stays
  • hardly and lately are separate words, not the adverbs of hard and late
