Adjectives modify (give more information about) nouns.
Adverbs modify verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and complete sentences.
	I can see clearly with my new glasses. - “clearly” modifies “see”
	Clearly, you need new glasses. - “clearly” modifies the complete sentence
Most adverbs are formed from adjectives + -ly.

Adverbs of manner can answer “how” questions about verbs.
How should I drive on a mountain road?
- You should drive slowly and carefully.

p. 75-76 practice 2 - Underline the adverbs of manner, circle the verbs they modify.
(thoroughly = carefully + completely)
- Usually, adverbs of manner go after the verb they modify.
- However, they can go before the verb, especially if there is an object after it.
	(strange) I can understand the grammar that you’ve been explaining easily.
	-> I can easily understand the grammar that you’ve been explaining.
	* (WRONG) I can understand easily the grammar.
