1. Adjectives and Adverbs chapter 11, page 96

ADJECTIVES AND ADVERBS

pay attention to the following sentences !!
a) The teacher screams angrily
b) Hinar asks to her mother honestly
c) Be quiet please!!

Words like fast,happy.quite,angry etc are adjectives. We use them with nouns as attributive adjectives such as " a angry man", and predicative adjective like "The man is angry".

Angrily and honestly are adverbs. Adverbs are used to describe how to people do things or how things happen.
Example :
- She sings very well
- Arni looks sleepy this morning.
- He spoke badly.
