Some adjectives ending in ly are used as adverbs like this:

-lovely. She is lovely. (adjective)
-in a lovely way. She behaves in a lovely way.(adverb)

Can you think of anymore adjectives that follow this pattern when adverbs? Please use them in a sentence.

It's not an adverb in the second sentence; it's merely an adjective used in an adverbial phrase. Sorry to disappoint you. :(

Again, it's an adjective in both sentences.

" In a friendly way" an adjective since when?
kitkattail, 6 yr 91 days ago
"In a friendly way" is an adverbial phrase; "friendly" is still an adjective modifying "way."

You are right it is an adverbial phrase.

She laughed loudly.
I finished quickly.
We ate slowly.
I sat quietly.
Etc....
