ADVERBS OF MANNER
Adverbs of manner are those which talk about HOW the action is done. Remember that an adverb modifies
the verb.

Laura walks quickly.

To make adverbs, we use the adjective + -ly:

beautiful  beautifully

slow  slowly

And we can make comparatives with them. They don’t change:

I sing more beautifully than you.

Mark doesn’t do his homework as easily as you.

He writes less quickly than me.
