zazzex  +  964104 Sat, 07 Nov 09 08:35 AM Hello,   I would like to know an adverb of "overall"   " Overall result of the study showed up to be positive."   "Result of the study showed up to be positive in an overall manner."   Could you let me know what it is?   Thanks zazzex Grammar, Adverbs

	Best answer by Yankee  +  964451 Sat, 07 Nov 09 05:33 PM The word "overall" can be used as either an adjective or as an adverb: - The overall result of the study turned out to be positive. (adjective) - Overall, the result of the study turned out to be positive. (adverb) - The result of the study turned out to be positive overall. (adverb) As CJ has already mentioned, there is no such word as "overally". Yankee Adverbs, Adjectives
