why do we only form adjectives as adverb of manner
- An adjective describes a noun, an adverb of manner describes 'how' an action is done. Adverbs tell in what way someone does something.
- Adjectives are modified to become adverbs of manner. For example:
- Some adverbs keep the same form as adjective. For example: fast, hard, etc.
- Some adverbs are formed by adding suffixes. For example: He moved the dial clockwise.
