Inc. All rights reserved. Often people confuse the use of some adverbs and some adjectives. The next few lessons will cover some of the common mistakes. Remember that adjectives modify nouns or pronouns.
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.
This lesson will be about the use of the adjective sure and the adverbs surely, certainly , and really . Use sure only when one of these three adverbs does not make sense. Jim is sure he is right. Surely he is right. Choose the correct form for each of these sentences.
