Quiz playing is a wonderful way to increase your knowledge of English as a Second Language. Remember that all of our ESL quizzes have titles that are both friendly and technical at the same time… In the case of this quiz you might like to tell your friends about “A Friendly Word” but no doubt your teachers will talk about the “Tricky Adverbs quiz”! If you hear a technical term and you want to find a quiz about the subject then just look through the list of quiz titles until you find what you need.
It is always good to hear 'a friendly word' (usually meaning more than one actual word, i.e. an expression or a whole sentence) from someone.
This time we are looking at ‘tricky’ adverbs... most adverbs end in '~ly', as you probably know. But there are some Adverbs that do NOT end that way; and, meanwhile, some other words that DO end in '-ly' but which are not, in fact, adverbs (like 'friendly).
So you will need to be careful! Take a look at these ‘Tricky’ Adverbs
'Kindly' can, of course, also be the adverbial form of 'kind' in such a situation as: ''Will you kindly leave the room for a couple of minutes?' or 'The woman at the shop very kindly helped me with this problem.' (In each case, the following word is a Verb.)
