ADJECTIVE ADVERE beautiful beautifully slow slowly But note that the adverb of good is wel. You're agood swimmer. You swim very well. And we use fast, hard, early and late as both adjectives and adverbs. It’s a fast car. ‘The car goes very fast. It was hard work. We worked hard. Iwas early, Larrived early. | Not all words ending in -ly are adverbs. Some adjectives also end in -ly eg friendly, lovely, lonely silly, ugly.
