SKILL 49: RECOGNIZE –LY 

ADJECTIVES

Generally when a word ends in –ly in English, it is an adverb. However, there are a few words
ending in –ly that are adjectives, and these –ly adjectives can cause confusion in written
expression questions on the TOEFL test.
Umumnya ketika sebuah kata diakhiri dengan –ly dalam bahasa Inggris, itu adalah kata
keterangan. Namun, ada beberapa kata yang diakhiri dengan –ly yang merupakan kata sifat, dan
kata sifat –ly ini dapat menyebabkan kebingungan dalam pertanyaan ekspresi tertulis pada tes
TOEFL. Jadi kita harus bias membedakan kata adj dan adv

Adj selalu diikuti noun


The manager turned in This example is correct, but appears to be incorrect;
his weekly(adj) report(noun). Benar it appears that there is an –ly adverb in front of the
karena weekly sebagai adj berada di noun report.. however weekly is an adjective that
posisi yang tepat menjelaskan report describe the noun report.
yang merupakan noun.
She takes her daily (adj)
medication(noun) on a regularly(adv)
schedule(noun). Incorrect meskipun
regulary berakhiran-ly tidak berarti itu
adj jadi regularly disini masih
merupakan adv jadi kalimat disini
masih salah
Correct answer She takes her
daily(adj) medication(noun) on a
regular(adj) schedule(noun). Jadi
regularry tadi di ubah menjadi regular
supaya menjadi adj

Adjectives hanya menjelaskan noun atau pronoun jadi untuk adj hanya boleh terletak di
depan noun/pronoun tetapi adv itu tdk boleh terletak di depan noun karena adv
menjelaskan verb, adjective, serta adverb.
The following chart lists common –ly adjectives that can appear in English:
Untuk itu ada beberapa kata berakhiran –ly yang meruakan adj sehingga kita tidak bingung
lagiapakah itu adv atau adj . Berikut adalah kata sifal adj yang berakhiran -ly
-LY ADJECTIVES
Costly Likely Daily Quarterly Northerly
Early Lively Hourly Weekly Easterly
Friendly Lonely Monthly Yearly Southerly
Kindly Manly Nightly Lovely Westerly

EXERCISE 49: Each of the following sentences contains at least one adjective or adverb ending
in -ly. Circle the –ly words, and label them as either adjectives or adverbs. Draw arrows to the
words they describe. Then indicate if the sentences are correct (C) or incorrect (I).
 

…………… 3 Do you want to go to the early movie or the lately movie?

1. Federal taxes are yearly taxes which must be paid every April
Kalimat diatas correct karena yearly sebagai adj berada di posisi yang tepat menjelaskan
taxes yang merupakan noun
2. At the fashion show, the new seasonally fashion will be show
Incorrect karena meskipun seasonally pada kalimat di atas berakhiran-ly tidak berarti itu
adj jadi disini seasonally masih merupakan adv jadi kalimat disini masih salah untuk
menjelaskan noun harus kalimat adj
Correct answer At the fashion show, the new seasonal fashion will be show . Jadi
seasonally tadi di ubah menjadi seasonal supaya menjadi adj agar dapat menjelaskan
fashion yang merupakan noun
3. Do you want to go to the early movie or the lately movie
Incorrect karena pada kalimat di atas kata lately masih merupakan adv untuk menjelaskan
movie yang merupakan noun jadi kalimat disini masih salah
Kalimat yang benar yaitu Do you want to go to the early movie or the late movie. Jadi
lately harus di ubah menjadi late agar menjadi adj shg dapat menjelaskan movie yang
merupakan noun
4. The quarterly reports need to be turned in at the next weekly meeting.
Kalimat diatas correct posisi penempatan kata pada kalimat sudah benar semua kata
quarterly merupakan adj berada di posisi yang tepat menjelaskan report yang
merupakan noun. Dan kata Weekly merupakan adj menjelaskan meeting merupakan
noun disini juga sudah benar
5. He did not have a manly reaction to he negatively comments.
Incorrect karena pada kalimat kata negatively masih merupakan adv jadi kalimat disini
masih salah seharusnya untuk mrnjelaskan adv harus kata adj kemudian baru diikuti kata
noun
Correct answer He did not have a manly reaction to he negative comments. Jadi
negatively tadi di ubah menjadi negative supaya menjadi adj agar dapat menjelaskan
comments yang merupakan noun
