Which sentence uses the correct adverb?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. She ran quickly to the station.
- Step 1: An adverb describing how an action is done is usually formed from an adjective plus ly.
- Step 2: 'She ran quickly' uses the adverb quickly.
Answer
She ran quickly to the station.
Why not the others: She ran quick to the station.: Quick is an adjective, but an adverb is needed to describe ran. She ran quicker to the station.: This is a comparative with nothing to compare to. She ran quickness to the station.: Quickness is a noun.
