UWF WRITING LAB RULES OF THUMB FOR ADJECTIVE AND ADVERB USE From Real Good Grammar, Too by Mamie Webb Hixon Created by April Turner

Adjectives and Adverbs Use adjectives after sense verbs such as look, smell, taste, feel, or sound or after linking verbs (is, am, are, was, were and other forms of be): The steak tastes very good. Most adverbs end in –ly; use adverbs after transitive and intransitive verbs/verbs of action: She submits her paperwork promptly.

Bad and Badly Bad is an adjective: I feel bad about the delay. Badly is an adverb: It doesn't hurt so badly now.

Good and Well Good is an adjective: You look good in blue. You wear it well. Well is an adverb: He gets along well with his co-workers. Well is also an adjective when it is used to refer to health: I am not well today.

Real and Really Real is an adjective meaning "genuine"; really is an adverb: The admiral has real charm, so he is really charismatic. The use of real as an adverb is colloquial or nonstandard: He writes real really well.

Sort of and kind of Sort of and kind of are often misused in written English by writers who actually mean rather or somewhat: Lannie was kind of rather saddened by the results of the test.

Question and Answer Session Are there any questions about the rules of using adjectives and adverbs? PLEASE ASK!
