## ✔ PART A: Complete the sentences with the adjective or adverb form

Key Rule:

- Adjectives describe nouns (e.g., *a beautiful girl*).
- Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs (e.g., *plays beautifully*, *very clever*).

Let’s go one by one:

1. She is a beautiful girl. → *beautiful* = adjective (describes “girl”)
2. Sarah plays the piano beautifully. → *beautifully* = adverb (describes how she plays)
3. This tomato is soft. → *soft* = adjective (describes “tomato”)
4. Jane always speaks very softly. → *softly* = adverb (how she speaks)
5. Jack did the exercises very cleverly. → *cleverly* = adverb (how he did them)
6. My brother is very clever. → *clever* = adjective (describes “brother”)
7. Raul is not a very careful person. → *careful* = adjective (describes “person”)
8. My little sister did her homework carefully. → *carefully* = adverb (how she did it)
9. That old lady walks slowly. → *slowly* = adverb (how she walks)
10. My neighbor is a slow swimmer. → *slow* = adjective (describes “swimmer”)
11. John is a careless student. → *careless* = adjective (describes “student”)
12. Roger did the work carelessly. → *carelessly* = adverb (how he did it)
13. My mother is a serious person. → *serious* = adjective (describes “person”)
14. She thought seriously about that matter. → *seriously* = adverb (how she thought)
15. I see John very frequently at the school cafeteria. → *frequently* = adverb (how often)
16. My brother’s friends are frequent visitors in our home. → *frequent* = adjective (describes “visitors”)
17. Mary did her homework very quickly. → *quickly* = adverb (how she did it)
18. He always has quick answers to give us. → *quick* = adjective (describes “answers”)
19. This is an easy exercise. → *easy* = adjective (describes “exercise”)
20. I did this exercise easily. → *easily* = adverb (how I did it)

## ✔ PART B: Complete with “good” or “well”

Key Rule:

- Good = adjective → describes a noun
- Well = adverb → describes a verb (or sometimes an adjective, but mostly verb)

> 💡 Exception: “Well” can also be an adjective when talking about health (“I am well”), but here we’re mostly using it as an adverb.

Let’s solve:

1. Our teacher speaks French very well. → *speaks* is a verb → needs adverb → well
2. Is Jane a good English teacher? → *teacher* is a noun → needs adjective → good
3. My sister always does everything well. → *does* is a verb → needs adverb → well
4. Roger can swim well. → *swim* is a verb → needs adverb → well
5. My little brother is a good swimmer. → *swimmer* is a noun → needs adjective → good
6. I don’t think Peter is a good dancer. → *dancer* is a noun → needs adjective → good
7. George, on the other hand, dances pretty well. → *dances* is a verb → needs adverb → well
8. It seems to be a very good TV program. → *program* is a noun → needs adjective → good
9. Everybody speaks well things about this new TV program. → Wait — this sentence is grammatically awkward. Probably meant: “Everybody speaks well of this new TV program.” OR “...speaks good things...” — but “good things” is correct idiomatically. So likely: good (as in “good things” = positive comments).
👉 Answer: good (because “things” is a noun; “good things” = positive remarks)

10. My workmate never does his work well. → *does* is a verb → needs adverb → well
11. Sarah is a very good tennis player. → *player* is a noun → needs adjective → good
12. Her sister also plays tennis very well. → *plays* is a verb → needs adverb → well
13. My new pen writes very well. → *writes* is a verb → needs adverb → well
14. It seems to be a very good pen. → *pen* is a noun → needs adjective → good
15. The movie we watched last night was very good. → *movie* is a noun → needs adjective → good
16. The leading actor was pretty good in his role. → *actor* is being described → adjective → good (you can say “acted well”, but “was good” = performed well)
17. I was sick for three days but I am well now. → Talking about health → well (adjective meaning healthy)
18. It’s good to be back to work. → “It’s good to...” = common phrase → adjective → good
