<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use an adverb to express a significant description to a verb, an adjective or another adverb. Simply put, it tells us HOW<\/strong> something happens. The rule is simple for regular adverbs as we often only need to add -ly to the end of an adjective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Irregular adverbs<\/strong> on the other hand, disregard standard English spelling rules<\/strong>. Hence, they have to be memorized<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some common irregular adverbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Adjectives<\/strong><\/td>Irregular Adverbs<\/strong><\/td><\/td><\/tr>
      good<\/td>      well<\/td>The show went well.<\/td><\/tr>
      fast<\/td>      fast<\/td>She drives too fast.<\/td><\/tr>
      hard<\/td>      hard<\/td>He studied hard for the exam<\/td><\/tr>
      late<\/td>      late<\/td>They arrived late at the party.<\/td><\/tr>
      early<\/td>      early<\/td>The package arrived early.<\/td><\/tr>
      daily<\/td>      daily<\/td>New articles are published daily.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hard vs Hardly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She works hard<\/strong> because she’s looking forward for a promotion. – correct<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She works hardly <\/strong>because she’s looking forward for a promotion. – incorrect <\/strong>(Hardly means “almost never”<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we say, “She works hardly,” this means she hardly ever  or rarely works which is opposite from the original context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late vs Lately<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came home late.<\/strong> – correct<\/strong> (To arrive home later than the expected time or very late at night.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came home lately.<\/strong> – incorrect <\/strong>(Lately means “recently”<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Late<\/strong> is both an adjective<\/strong> and an adverb<\/strong> while ‘lately’<\/strong> is only an adverb of time<\/strong> which means recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good vs. Well<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good<\/strong> is an adjective<\/strong>. Well<\/strong> is the adverb<\/strong> of good which describes how something is being done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did good<\/strong> in my interview. – incorrect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did well<\/strong> in my interview. – correct<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
