			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>By adding –ly to an adjective:</strong></span></p>
<p>Strange, strangely; brave, bravely; beautiful, beautifully; able, ably; cheerful, cheerfully; modest, modestly; probable, probably; selfish, selfishly; vigorous, vigorously</p>
<p>She is a <strong>beautiful</strong> girl. (Adjective – beautiful)<br />
She smiled <strong>beautifully</strong>. (Adverb – beautifully)<br />
He is a <strong>brave</strong> man. (Adjective – brave)<br />
He fought <strong>bravely</strong>. (Adverbs – bravely)<br />
He is a <strong>strange</strong> person. (Adjective – strange)<br />
He behaved <strong>strangely</strong>. (Adverb – strangely)</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>By adding the suffixes wise, ways, ward and wards</strong></span></p>
<p>She glanced sideways at the visitor.<br />
I looked upwards.<br />
Let’s march forward.<br />
He crawled crab-wise across the floor.</p>
<p>Note that most of these words can be used both as <strong>adverbs </strong>and <strong>adjectives. </strong>For instance, we can speak of an <strong>upward trend</strong> (Here upward is an adjective qualifying the noun trend) or a <strong>sideways</strong> glance (Here sideways is an adjectives qualifying the noun glance.).</p>
<p>Some compounds made of a preposition and a noun are adverbs.</p>
<p>Examples are: <strong>afoot (on foot), abed, aboard, ahead, away, besides, today, tomorrow etc.</strong></p>
<p>Some compounds made of a preposition and an adjective are adverbs.</p>
<p>Examples are: <strong>abroad, along, aloud, around, anew, behind, below etc.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong>Some compounds made of an adverb and a preposition are also adverbs:</p>
<p>Examples are: <strong>hereafter, hereby, herein, wherefore, thereupon, therein, henceforth etc</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>Words used as both adjectives and adverbs</strong></span></p>
<p>Some words can be used both as adjectives and adverbs. Examples are: <strong>early, easy, daily, leisurely etc.</strong></p>
<p>He is an <strong>early riser</strong>. (Here early is used as an adjective qualifying the noun riser.)<br />
I got up <strong>early</strong> today. (Here early is used as an adverb qualifying the verb got up.)<br />
It is an <strong>easy</strong> job. (Here easy is used as an adjective qualifying the noun job.)<br />
Take it <strong>easy.</strong> (Here easy is used as an adverb qualifying the verb take.)</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff"><strong>Adverb phrases</strong></span></p>
<p>Read the sentences given below:</p>
<p>He drives <strong>carefully.</strong><br />
He drives <strong>with care. </strong></p>
<p>Here <strong>carefully</strong> is an adverb showing the manner in which he drives. <strong>With care</strong> is a phrase which means the same as<strong> carefully</strong> and does the work of an adverb. Hence it is an <strong>adverb phrase</strong>. It is possible to substitute an adverb phrase for an adverb.</p>
<p>Most adverb phrases begin with a preposition. Note that not all adverbs can be changed into an adverb phrase or vice versa.</p>
<p>He fought <strong>courageously.</strong><br />
He fought <strong>with courage.</strong><br />
She searched <strong>everywhere.</strong><br />
She searched <strong>all over the place.</strong><br />
He looked at me <strong>suspiciously.</strong><br />
He looked at me <strong>with suspicion.</strong><br />
The workers hurried <strong>towards their homes.</strong><br />
The workers hurried <strong>homeward.</strong></p>
