Mistaking Adjectives for Adverbs

► Adjectives :

An adjective is used to modify a noun. It can either be a descriptive
word on its own, or formed by adding a suffix. The highlighted
words in the following sentences are examples of descriptive words:
- I have a white cat.
- Linda is a sad girl.
- She bought the paisley dress, the baggy pants, and the blouse.


Some examples of suffixes that can be used to form adjectives
are:
–able
–ous
–er
–est

► Adverbs :

An adverb is used to modify a verb. It also can be used to modify
an adjective or other adverb. An adverb can be formed from
an adjective by adding the suffix -ly. Some examples of adverbs
include so, very, carefully and rapidly. Take a look at how the
sentences from the Adjectives section change with the addition of
adverbs:

- I have a very white cat.
- Linda is a ridiculously sad girl.
- She quickly bought the paisley dress, the baggy pants, and the
gray blouse
