The words in bold are adverbs of manner. They end in “-ly” and answer

the question “how”.

clumsy + ly

clumsily —> How did he leave the goal area?

stern + ly

sternly —> How did Siti talk to Mirza?

hesitant + ly

hesitantly —-> How did Mirza reply to his mother?

Some adverbs of manners, however, do not end in “-ly”. They are well,

fast, hard, much, little, high and straight.

For example, these sentences (from the stories in Unit 1 and Unit 2)

contain adverbs of manners without “-ly”.

• “I think he guarded the goal area well,” replied Abay.
