LEARN THIS! Adverbs and adverbial phrases

1 Some adverbs have the same form as the adjective: early, fast, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc.

A weekly bus pass is cheaper.

I buy my bus pass weekly.

2 Other adjectives ending -ly do not have an adverbial form: friendly, lively, cowardly, motherly, lovely, etc. Instead we put the adjective in an adverbial phrase:

She smiled at me in a friendly way.

3 Some adverbs have two forms: one with -ly and one without: close / closely, deep / deeply, late / lately, pretty / prettily, etc.

The meanings are sometimes very similar:

Let’s stay close together.

The policeman watched them closely.

But they can also be unrelated:

The train arrived late.

Have you been abroad lately?
