The problem is that many students can’t tell one adverb from another, therefore
it seems to be a common mistake. “High” is an adverb referring to height. As for
“highly”, it’s an adverb meaning “in the highest degree.” So they are
completely different.
Read each sentence below, then write a sentence of your own to each one given
using the – ly form of the adjective or adverb.
1) I can’t imagine anyone sharing the view of the hard left or the hard
right.
2) Our candidate was just a few votes short of winning a place on the
board.
3) I always feel very full indeed whenever I eat pies.
4) The most direct route from here to Nottingham is also the most
expensive.
