 Adverbs of manner.

Adverbs of manner are used to provide

more information about how an action is
performed. They help convey the manner,
style, or method in which an activity or
verb is carried out. Here are some
situations and contexts in which adverbs
of manner are commonly used:
 1. Adverbs of manner
They usually take an “ly”. They modify the
verb and show how the action is done.

Examples:
Secret + ly = secretly
Slow + ly = slowly
 2. Spelling rules

• Terrible – terribly – adjs that end in le – we

remove the “e”
• Beautiful – beautifully - adjs that end in
“l”, we double the “l”
• Happy – happily BUT shy +ly = shyly

• True + ly = truly
Irregular adverbs
!!! After linking verbs such as: seem,
sound, look, be, become we use an
adjective, not an adverb.

e.g. He seems tired.

e.g. The weather became cold.
e.g. You look beautiful.
It's important to note that not all
adverbs of manner end in "-ly." Some
adverbs have irregular forms, like
"fast," "hard," and "well."
Additionally, some adjectives and
adverbs share the same form, such as
"fast" (adjective) and "fast" (adverb).

Class Discussion on Technology and Robots.

Introduction: Begin the discussion by asking the class to share their

thoughts on the role of technology and robots in today's society.
Encourage them to consider both positive and negative aspects.

Adverbs and Technology: Discuss with the class how adverbs can be
used to enhance communication when discussing technology and
robots. Provide examples or ask for examples from the students.
Example: "How does the adverb 'increasingly' impact the tone when
discussing the use of robots in industries?"
 Class Discussion on Technology and Robots.

1. How might the use of 'potentially' change the way we talk

about the impact of robots in healthcare?

•Discussion Point: "Robotic surgical systems have been

introduced in our hospital, and they potentially have
improved precision in surgeries.“

•Student Response: "Adding 'potentially' introduces an

element of uncertainty, suggesting that while there is a
possibility of improved precision, it's not guaranteed."

2.How might the use of 'unquestionably' change the way we talk

about the impact of robots in healthcare?

•Discussion Point: "Robotic surgical systems have been introduced

in our hospital, and they have unquestionably improved precision in
surgeries.“

•Student Response: "Using 'unquestionably' makes a strong

statement, emphasizing that there's no doubt about the positive
impact of robots in improving surgical precision."
