Adjectives and adverbs are both modifiers but serve different roles:
Adjectives describe nouns (people, places, things). They answer What kind?, How many?, or Which one?
Example: “She has a quick mind.” (“Quick” modifies the noun mind.)
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer How?, When?, Where?, or To what extent?
Example: “She thinks quickly.” (“Quickly” modifies the verb thinks.)
Key Differences:
Form: Many adverbs end in -ly (e.g., “slowly”), but adjectives do not. Exceptions exist (e.g., “friendly” is an adjective).
Placement: Adjectives usually precede nouns (“a bright sky”), while adverbs are flexible (“He ran fast” / “Fast, he ran”).
Comparison: Both can be comparative/superlative, but forms differ:
Adjective: bright → brighter → brightest
Adverb: quickly → more quickly → most quickly
Common Errors:
Using adjectives instead of adverbs: ❌ “Drive safe.” (Correct: “Drive safely.”)
Misplacing modifiers: ❌ “She almost ate all the cake.” (Ambiguous; better: “She ate almost all the cake.”)
