English Grammar: Adjective Or Adverb

We haven't had any grammar exercises here yet!  Let's start now: Adjective or Adverb.

Do I need to explain?  Adjectives connect to nouns, Adverbs connect to verbs:

My new car is a quick car.  (adjective)
I drive quickly.  (adverb)
I drive my quick car quickly.  (adjective & adverb)


Typically in English, adverbs end in a 'ly'.  BUT there are exceptions:

My new car is a fast car.  (adjective)
I drive fast.  (adverb)
I drive my fast car fast.  (adjective & adverb)

- In the case of 'fast', the word is the same in both its adjective and adverb forms.
