 Easily Confused Adjectives and Adverbs (1)
Some adjectives and adverbs are often used incorrectly. We have to
remember whether we are describing a noun or a verb when using them.
Examples: I’m doing good. (✘) I’m doing well. (✔)
Were you hurt bad? (✘) Were you hurt badly? (✔)
This candy is real good! (✘) This candy is really good! (✔)
Your house is nearly mine. (✘) Your house is near mine. (✔)

C. Circle the correct adjectives or adverbs.

SA

D. See if the words in bold are mistakes. Underline

them if they are. Then write the correct words
on the lines.

My brother can get real distracted by the TV and does his homework really
bad. He knows perfectly good that the TV often airs badly shows. That is
why he only watches documentaries, which are stories about real people.
But he can be real consumed by them. Maybe my brother should become
a documentary filmmaker, so that his work will also be his play! That would
be a real good idea!
