ADJECTIVE or ADVERB[112]--Illiterate persons often forget that adjectives go with nouns and pronouns, but adverbs with verbs, adjectives, and adverbs Even cultivated persons are sometimes in doubt whether to use an adjective or an adverb after certain verbs, as ”grow,” ”look,” ”sound,”
”smell,” ”taste” If the added word applies to the subject of the verb, it should be an adjective; if to the verb, it should be an adverb We say ”We feel _warm_” e mean that we are warm; we say ”We feel _war is warm ”As a rule, it is proper to use an adjective whenever some form of the verb 'to be' or 'to seem' may be substituted for the verb, an adverb when no such substitution can be rily_” Sometimes we may use either adjective or adverb with no difference in_quiet_ (_quietly_) round the fire”
Regarding the _forht pupils often suppose that all words ending in ”-ly” are adverbs, and that all adverbs end in ”-ly” A glance at the italicized words in the following expressions will remove this delusion: ”Cothwise_;” ”he fell _backward_;” ”run _fast_;” ”_now_ it is done;” ”a _friendly_ Indian;” ”a buzzing _fly_” Though no coiven for the form of adverbs, which must be learned for the most part by observation, it may be helpful to know that entle, true,_ take the suffix ”-ly” toadverb; and that the co in ”-ly” usually prefix _more_ and _most_
