Adverb vs Adjective Dictation: Adjectives After Sense Verbs
A2 Level
English Exercises is teacher-led by Charlie. About the teacher · How content is made
Listen to the word after looks, feels, sounds, smells or tastes. In this set, it describes the person or thing: it can tell you that something is sweet, warm or strange. It does not need an -ly ending just because it follows a verb. You may hear very, quite or really before the description, so keep those words as well. Let the whole phrase help you hear the adjective clearly. Then write every word, including the sense verb and its ending.
