Adjective vs Adverb Error Correction

This adjective vs adverb error correction exercise trains the proofreading decisions learners often miss in full sentences: whether a word describes a noun, a subject after a linking verb, or the way an action happens. You will check -ly adverbs, linking verb + adjective patterns, good versus well, and meaning pairs such as hard and hardly.

Wrong: "The chef chopped the vegetables careful before dinner." Correct: "The chef chopped the vegetables carefully before dinner."
Wrong: "The music sounded beautifully from the hallway." Correct: "The music sounded beautiful from the hallway."

Some sentences are already correct, so do not click every adjective or every word ending in -ly. First decide what the word is describing. If it describes a noun or the subject after verbs like look, sound, seem, taste, or feel, an adjective is usually needed. If it describes how an action happens, an adverb is usually needed.
