Question

Form the adverb of the following word.
beautiful
A. Beautifuly
B. Beautifully
C. Beautifuler
D. Beautifulest

Answer 1

Hint: Adverb is an expression that describes a verb (Example: she speaks loudly).An adjective qualifies the noun (Example: I like that red flower) where we can show another adverb which exemplifies another adjective (Example: A very loud sound). Mainly, the adverbs can be distinguished by the suffix ‘-ly’ whereas some adverbs like fast resembles same as the adjectives.

Complete step by step answer:
1. The word ‘beautiful’ is an adjective. If we are going to find the noun of this word, we can find it as ‘beauty’.
2. If we see the first option here: the spelling ‘Beautifuly’ is incorrect.
3. In Option C, it is written ‘Beautifuler’. Any suffix with ‘-er’ can’t be an adverb. Moreover, such a word does not exist in English vocabulary as well. If anybody would confuse it with the comparative degree of the adjective, it is important to see that it is not an adverb. The degree orientation of ‘-er’ and ‘-est’ are used in comparative and superlative degrees of adjective.
4. Such a way, we can say the option D, which tried to create the superlative (but still this word does not exist in English vocabulary).
5. So, option B has shown the correct answer. As we have iterated before, by adding the suffix ‘-ly’ an adjective can be converted into an adverb in conventional manner. And, in this case the spelling is also correct.

Thus, Option B is correct.

Note:
We have seen that adjectives can be converted into adverbs by changing their endings. But there are some adverbs that sound exactly like their adjective counterparts. As we have shown the adverb ‘fast’ above which is quite similar in resemblance with an adjective; but when it is used in a sentence, it can depict the meaning of an adverb in the correct manner. Like: “The horse runs fast.” It is not worthy to mention that the word ‘fast’ signifies the verb ‘runs’ (that is, how the horse is running).
