Adverbs of manner are usually formed from adjectives by adding –ly:

方式副詞通常是其形容詞后直接加-ly形成的：

bad >badly; quiet >quietly; recent >recently; sudden >suddenly

but there are sometimes changes in spelling:

但有的時候在拼寫上會有一些改變：

easy >easily; gentle >gently

If an adjective ends in –ly we use the phrase in a …. way to express manner:

若一個形容詞以-ly結尾，我們用短語in a ... way來表示“用……方式”：

Silly >He behaved in a silly way.

Friendly >She spoke in a friendly way.

A few adverbs of manner have the same form as the adjective:

一些方式副詞與形容詞的形式一樣：

They all worked hard.

She usually arrives late.

I hate driving fast.

Note: hardly and lately have different meanings:

注意：hardly 和 lately 有不同的含義：

He could hardly walk = It was difficult for him to walk.

I haven’t seen John lately = I haven’t seen John recently.

We often use phrases with like as adverbials of manner:

我們經常用like短語作為方式狀語：

She slept like a baby.

He ran like a rabbit.

Adverbs of manner and link verbs

We very often use adverbials with like after link verbs:

我們經常在系動詞后，用like短語作狀語：

Her hands felt like ice.

It smells like fresh bread.

But we do not use other adverbials of manner after link verbs. We use adjectives instead:

但是我們不用其他方式狀語與系動詞連用，而以形容詞代替：

They looked happily happy.

That bread smells deliciously delicious.
