Adverbs and adjectives

An image can help us better understand the difference between adverbs and adjectives:

I’m totally desagree with your opinion.
Honestly, I think the color black is a beautifully color.
The exam was so easily that I don’t had to do it so quickly.

I didn’t know that an adverb could modify an adjective 😮
The more I learn, the less I think I know 😳
Does anyone else have the same feeling? 🤚
Let me tell you that we have to try it harder 💪👌🤓💚

Honestly, I don’t want to go back to college.

Hello teacher, I leave here my words

• calmbly (camly) ❌

• honestly (honestly) ✔️

• beautifully (beautifully) ✔️

• easily (easily) ✔️

• tragicly (tragicaly) ❌

• terribly (terribly) ✔️

• hardly (hard) ❌

Wow, of these I learn

Calmly
Honestly
Beautifully
Easily
Tragically
Terribly
Hardly hard

Another thing that I’ve learned 'til now, the adverb for the word “hard” is the same, I thought it was “hardly”, but no… We always learn, human brain is so fantastic…

My practice:

• Calm - Calmly ✔️
• Honest - Honestly ✔️
• Beautiful - Beautifully ✔️
• Easy - Easily ✔️
• Tragic - Tragically ✔️
• Terrible - Terribly ✔️
• Hard - Hardly ❌ (Hard)

I didn’t know that “hard” as an adverb doesn’t change 😱

Thanks to f1 driver Esteban Ocon I will never forget the difference between hard and hardly.
Ocon uses the incorrect word choice to great effect

Humbly saying…

.

• With Platzi, it’s a patiently learning process, that challenges you comfortably and cheerfully to be a stronger self-disciplined person. Those that look for a loudly successful way are confined to suffering, others who find out a new couch potato source will still do everything lazily.

I honestly believe that we can achieve our goals if we work together.

• I honestly don’t think there is a solution to this problem.
• You can easily prepare a meal.
• Traffic is terribly at this hour.

• Calm ➡ Calmly
• honest ➡ honestly
• beautiful ➡ beautifully
• easy ➡ easily
• tragic ➡ tragically
• terrible ➡ terribly
• hard ➡ hardly 😁 hard

I think I will always come back to this class because of this easily understandable explanation.

“Hard” is an adjective like an adverb.

Hay un pequeño error en la descripción, estaba leyendo acerca de hard y hay dos ejemplos donde lo ponen como adverbio y adjetivo, pero en su traducción no se ve la diferencia del uno al otro, fue muy confuso al principio pero después vi que posiblemente se debió usar la palabra “duro” en vez de “mucho”

Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to the end of the related adjective. Exceptionally, words which end in -ble drop off the -e before -ly is added.
