WORD STRUCTURE
Generally, adverb of manner is the combination between /adjective/ and the suffix /ly/.
Note: In Indonesia language, /-ly/ is /Dengan/ or /dengan cara/.
For examples:
Slow + ly ===> Slowly
quick + ly ===> Quickly
Beuatiful + ly ===> Beautifully
Easy + ly ===> Easily
Rapid + ly ===> Rapidly
Loud + ly ===> Loudly
Sweet + ly ===> Sweetly
Brief + ly ===> Briefly, etc
However, Not all the combination is correct. On the other hand, there are few words can stand as adverbs of manner without the suffix /-ly/, like /hard/, /well/, /Simple/, /bad/, /mad/, etc
/hard/ without /-ly/ ===> both adverb of manner and adjective
/well/ without /-ly/ ===> both adverb of manner and adjective
Study below carefully!
My father works hard (/hard/ is an adverb of manner)
The rock is hard. (/hard/ is an adjective)
She speaks English well (/well/ is an adverb of manner)
I am very well (/well/ is an adjective)
Notice that, when we put or place the suffix /-ly/ behind the adjective (/well/ or /hard/) the meaning will be different as well as the context.
For examples:
/Badly/ means not only /Do something in a bad manner/ but also the same as 'very' or 'so'
For examples:
I love you badly = I love you very much
I did it badly = I did it in a bad manner.
/badly/ is the same as /madly/.
