	Huevos  #512518  Sun, 11 May 08 05:45 PM  The word laugh is either a noun or a verb, never an adjective or adverb. If it follows a possessive pronoun (which could be substituted with the definite article) it must be a noun. Cute572 Tearfully, i hung up the phone. Words with the "ly" suffix are adverbial.     Huevos Joined on Tue, Mar 25 2008 Spain Full Member (402) British Native

	Tanit  #512569  Sun, 11 May 08 09:42 PM Huevos Words with the "ly" suffix are adverbial.  Hi, Rules may be dangerous in English, because exceptions can (generally) be found. "Lovely," "friendly" and "likely," for instance, are adjectives.    Tanit Joined on Mon, Jul 31 2006 In the middle of the Mediterranean Sea Contributing Member (1,918) A man can do only what he can do.

	Cute572  #525906  Wed, 11 Jun 08 04:23 PM Hello there!  but there are Adverbs of time and manner as well, often without "ly".  At that point how should we recognize Adverb: Like this confuse sentence "before" is adverb or preposition? I plan to start writing before six o'clock each morning.     Cute572

	Cute572  #526415  Thu, 12 Jun 08 04:57 PM Could any one tell me   I plan to start writing before six o'clock each morning. Before is preposition or Adverb of time ?  And this sentence as well  Both Sheran and I wanted the last piece of custard.   Is this a direct object ?     Cute572

	Goodman  #526418  Thu, 12 Jun 08 05:36 PM <<<>>> "Lovely," "friendly" and "likely," for instance, are adjectives. Umm... I agree with two but Likely is an adjective if I remember correctly.. I will likely attend this meeting - Holy - is an adjective    Goodman Joined on Mon, Nov 7 2005 Calif. USA Senior Member (3,082) The name says it all!
