Choose the sentence with the appropriate adjective:

forms of adverb adverb english

  1. She did good on the test.

  2. She speaks English well.

  3. I feel well today.

  4. Well, I didn't think this would happen.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

In option A, "good" is used as an adverb. It modifies how she "did" in the test. Therefore, A is incorrect. "Well" in option D is an exclamation and not an adjective while in B, it is an adverb that modifies the verb "speaks". Thus options B and D are incorrect.


Now, well is usually used as an adverb in most sentences. However, in certain cases, "well" can be used as an adjective to modify a noun. The adjective "well" is usually used to indicate good health, which is what it does in option C. Moreover, linking verbs like feel, seem, etc. are always followed by adjectives. This is because a linking verb does not express an action, but connects the subject of the verb to additional information about the subject. In option C, "well" is an adjective that describes the subject's good health. Therefore, option C is correct.

Fill in the blank with the appropriate answer:

I feel ____ about what happened.

forms of adverb adverb english

  1. bad

  2. badly

  3. horribly

  4. Both A and B

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the given sentence, "feel" is not a regular verb. It is a linking verb. Usually, linking verbs typically need adjectives and not adverbs. If we say "I feel horribly" or "I feel badly" then it would mean that you are bad at feeling things. The adverbs describe how you would perform the action of feeling. Therefore options B and C are incorrect. Since B is incorrect, option D, too, is incorrect. 


The linking verb can only be described by an adjective and this case, "bad" is the adjective that describes negative emotions felt by the subject. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
