Adverbs

Adverbs can be created from adjectives by adding -ly. Here are some examples. 

                                                                                
        ADJECTIVE               ADVERB
         rapid                   rapidly
         sudden                  suddenly
         quick                   quickly
         forceful                forcefully
         sweet                   sweetly
         gentle                  gently
Not all adverbs end in ly. Here are some examples: very, far, too, not, and always.

Adverbs are used to describe how something is done. In other words, they modify a verb. For instance consider the following adverbs and how they might be used with a verb such as "walk". 


	slowly		quickly		energetically

	sluggishly	steadily	tirelessly
The adverb helps you to picture how a person is walking. It's not always enough just to say that someone walked. It is often useful to know how they walked. So, adverbs are one way of supplying more details to help the reader to understand what you mean exactly.

Antonyms

Antonyms are words with opposite meanings. Here are some examples of antonym pairs: 


	dark/bright		dull/exciting		slow/fast

	solid/flimsy		loud/soft		bored/excited

	true/false		wrong/right		clean/dirty
One word can sometimes have several antonyms. For example, consider the antonyms for the word mean: 

  friendly, nice, courteous, polite, kind
