  2. What is the adverb form of this adjective?

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Adverbs that are irregular
He sings good.

Adverbs that are irregular 
He sings good.
"Sing" is an action verb and therefore you need to use the adverb here, so this sentence should be....
He sings well.

Adverb: good -> well
Adjective: good -> better -> best

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Flat adverbs
Flat adverbs are verbs that don't change form like; early, fast, hard or late.

He arrived early.
The car drove fast.
She fell very hard for him.
He was running late.


Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Flat adverbs - be careful
Flat adverbs don't change form because it changes the meaning of the word and sometimes also the meaning of the sentence.  Compare these two sentences: 

He was hardly ever late.
He's a hard worker.

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Adverbs that are confusing
  1. He was hardly ever late.
  2. He's a hard worker.

In the first sentence "hardly" means almost never.
In the second sentence "hard" describes how he works.

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

More examples of confusing adverbs
These adverbs are confusing because if they change form and an "ly" is added to the base form of the verb, it changes the meaning of the word. 

  1. I haven't seen her lately
  2. I'll call you back shortly
  3. I hardly know him 



Slide 17 - Tekstslide

More examples of confusing adverbs
  1. I haven't seen her lately
  2. I'll call you back shortly
  3. I hardly know him 

lately = recently
shortly = soon
hardly = barely / almost not
