2. Working with TroublesomeModifiers Grade Six

3. The Words �Bad� and �Badly� �Bad� and �badly� are often mixed up when used in sentences. However, if you know what these words do, you�ll not mix them up.

4. The Words �Bad� and �Badly� The word �bad� is an adjective. This means that it will describe a noun. Ex. It was a bad day. (Bad is an adjective because it describes the noun day.) Sometimes adjectives follow linking verbs or verbs of condition. These are called predicate adjectives. Ex. Mrs. Frow�s cooking tasted bad. (Bad is a predicate adjective because it comes after the verb of condition �tasted� and describes the noun cooking.)

5. The Words �Bad� and �Badly� The word �badly� is an adverb. This means it will often describe a verb. The most common type of verb is an action verb. �Badly� often describes an action. �Badly� is an adverb of manner. It will answer the question �how.� Ex. The play went badly. (Badly tells how the play went. Went is an action verb. This makes �badly� an adverb.) Ex. He drove badly and caused an accident. (Badly tells how he drove. Drove is an action verb. That makes �badly� an adverb.)

6. The Words �Good� and �Well� The word �good� is an adjective. This means that it will describe a noun. Ex. We had a good dinner last night. (Good is an adjective because it describes the noun dinner.) Sometimes adjectives follow linking verbs or verbs of condition. These are called predicate adjectives. Ex. That perfumes smells good. (Good is a predicate adjective because it comes after the verb of condition �smells� and describes the noun perfume.)

7. The Words �Good� and �Well� The word �well� is an adverb. This means it will often describe a verb. The most common type of verb is an action verb. �Well� often describes an action. �Well� is an adverb of manner. It will answer the question �how.� Ex. The boy played the game well. (Well tells how the boy played. Played is an action verb. This makes �badly� an adverb.) Ex. Since she sang well before, she was awarded a solo in the concert. (Well tells how she sang. Sang is an action verb. That makes �badly� an adverb.)

8. The Words �Good� and �Well� There is one exception for the word �well.� �Well� becomes and adjective instead of an adverb when: It refers to someone�s health! Ex. I feel well today. (Well is following the verb of condition �feel.� That means that �well� is working as a predicate adjective since it describes the subject �I.�) Ex. She is well today. (Well is following the linking verb �is.� That means that �well� is working as a predicate adjective since it describes the subject �she.�)
