Adjectives-  Bijvoegelijke naamwoorden

- Zeggen iets over een zelfstandig naamwoord: 
   the careful driver, the tall building

- Soms twee vormen: 
   This job is boring / interesting / tiring / annoying (= over ding)
   I am bored / interested / tired / annoyed (= over persoon)

Adverbs- Bijwoorden

- Zeggen iets over werkwoorden, bijvoegelijke naamwoorden, 
  en andere bijwoorden (alles behalve zelfstandige naamwoorden)

> she drove carefully, it rained heavily,
> surprisingly easy

> incredibly quickly, 

- Adverbs maak je door -ly achter het bijvoeglijk naamwoord te 
   zetten  (quick > quickly, careful > carefully)

How to make an adverb• 

• adjective + ly > beautiful – beautifully
• y becomes ily > easy – easily
  
• le becomes ly > horrible – horribly
  
• ic becomes ally > basic – basically  
  

Uitzonderingen

- Je gebruikt ook adjectives i.p.v. adverbs bij werkwoorden  zoals be / feel / look / taste / sound / smell / seem
   > I am tired, she is hungry, you look tired, you smell nice

- Een aantal adverbs maak je niet met -ly; je gebruikt vaak gewoon de adjective
   good > well            the good dog,                   you did well
   fast > fast               the fast car,                        he ran fast                
   hard > hard            the hard test,                     he tried hard                                   ('hardly' =  nauwelijks...he hardly tried)

   early > early         the early train                   he arrived early

   high > high           the high shelf                   the papers were piled high

   late > late              the late movie                  he was late                                        (lately = de laatste tijd ...he felt sad lately)
