Hello, Learner! I am Paulo, a

Directions: Tell whether the underlined word is used as an adjective or

adverb. Write ADJ if it is used as an adjective and ADV if its adverb.

Let’s Study This

Directions: Read the story. Then

answer the questions that follow.

The Interview

A grocery store advertised for a female cashier who

will handle its sales. Several girls presented themselves to
the manager for the interview. Angela came early. She dressed neatly and was
well-groomed, too. She talked pleasantly to the manager.
Then, Carla came in a bright colored skirt and blouse with unkempt hair.
She was talking loudly and was laughing boisterously during the interview.
Marga arrived late sweating profusely. She asked for apology to the
manager telling that she was caught in the traffic.
After the interview, the manager knew who was suited for the job.

Answer the following questions:

1. Who do you think was hired as the cashier for the grocery?
2. Why was she hired?
3. Why is good grooming important?
4. How do you keep yourself well-groomed?

Read the following sentences taken from the story.

1. Angela came early.
2. She dressed neatly.
3. Carla was talking loudly.
4. Marga arrived late.

The underlined words are adverbs. They describe verbs. They answer
HOW the actions are done. When adverbs describe how the actions
are done, they are called Adverbs of Manner.

Adverbs of manner are formed from adjectives by adding the suffix –ly.

Adjective Adverb
quiet quietly

Adjective Adverb
Ex. quiet quietly
1. graceful
2. beautiful
3. slow
4. careful
5. loud

Some adverbs of manner do not end in –ly such as fast, hard, late and
well.
