bark: sound a dog makes.
Rule: When comparing, don’t drop the -ly. Simply add more or less.
ex: He speaks more slowly than his brother.
Rule:
English grammar has one tricky caveat that seems like an exception to these easy rules: If the verb is one of these four senses—taste, smell, look, feel—don’t ask how. Instead, ask if the sense verb is used actively. If so, attach the -ly. If the sense verb is not used actively, which is more common, don’t attach -ly.
Examples:
Roses smell sweet/sweetly. Do roses actively smell with noses? No, so no -ly.
The woman looked angry/angrily. Is the woman actively looking with eyes? No, only her appearance is being described.
She feels bad/badly about the news. She is not feeling with fingers so no -ly.
She feels bad/badly since burning her fingers. She feels with her fingers here so the adverb (-ly form) is used.
Spring Festival Transportation:
stranded (stran – did)
sit the seat – sit on the seat/ lay down on the seat
ex: I will lay down in bed.
ex: Please don’t lay down on the bed when eating.
