    GRAMMAR

    Adjectives and adverbs

    Remember that adjectives describe nouns, and adverbs describe verbs. In English adjectives
    are usually SINGULAR and go before the noun.

    Example: She is an efficient receptionist.

    Adverbs may go in different positions, but they go after an auxiliary verb and in front of a main
    verb if they are adverbs of frequency.

    Example: I always deal with the check-in clients first

    Adverbs of manner go after the main verb.

    Example: She works very well.

    Remember also that although most adverbs are formed by adding ly to the adjective
    (interesting – adjective; interestingly – adverb), some are IRREGULAR (well, hard, fast, late).

    Example: She played the clarinet beautifully

    She played well.
