ADJECTIVES • Adjectives describes nouns. (easy is telling us information about the noun: brain teaser)
• Adverbs describes verbs. (easily is telling us information about the verb: solved)

2. LOOK AT THE ENDING:

Most adverbs end with –ly.

He drove quick. (INCORRECT)
• He walks slowly.
• My teacher speaks softly. He drove quickly. (CORRECT)

It is wrong because it doesn’t have a –ly ending, so you might have guessed that quick is an adjective. However, this
sentence is incorrect because an adjective cannot be used to describe a verb (drove).

To make this sentence correct we could change the adjective to an adverb.

• He drove quickly. (the sentence describes how he was driving)
