Adjectives and Adverbs : Building your vocabulary

Play this game of sentence transformation.
Your mission is to find a synonymous sentences, using adjectives and adverbes.
exemple : She is a bad singer. ===> She sings badly.



Here is a list of adjectives and adverbs for you to compare before the game.


Adjective Adverb
Fast fast
quick quickly
slow slowly
safe safely
dangerous dangerously
happy happily
sad, unhappy sadly, unhappily
right rightly
wrong wrongly
rare rarely
usual usually
frequent frequently
tidy tidily
Untidy, messy Untidily, messily
polite politely
rude rudely
respectful respectfully
hungry hungrily
thirsty thirstily
angry angrily
Calm calmly
loud loudly
quiet quietly
good well
bad badly


Watch out for the two exceptions, good ==> well and fast ==> fast

Remember the spelling rules : to make an adverb add the suffix -ly. bad ==> badly
If the adjective ends in -l, then double the l to make -lly. wonderful ==> wonderfully
If it ends with a -y and a [i] sound, like happy, the -y becomes -ily. pretty ==> prettily

After all that work, here are more bad singers! Just for fun!
