Form and use.

The formation of adverbs with -ly

· Many adverbs of manner and some adverbs of degree are formed by adding to the corresponding adjectives:

final, finally slow, slowly

note that the adverb of good is well.

· Adjectives ending in -ly

daily, weekly, monthly, kindly and sometimes leisurely can be adjectives or adverbs, but most other adjectives ending in -ly, e.g. friendly, likely, lonely etc., cannot be used as adverbs and have no adverb form. To supply this deficiency we use a similar adverb or adverb phrase:

likely (adjective) probably (adverb)

friendly (adjective) in a friendly way (adverb phrase)

· Some adverbs have a narrower meaning that their corresponding adjectives or differ from them.

Coldly, coolly, hotly, warmly are used mainly of feelings:

We received them coldly.

They defined the accusation hotly.
