Note: Not all the words that end in –ly are adverbs of manner, they can be adjectives.

Examples: friendly, lonely, lovely, etc.
- Amelia has cried all night. She feels lonely.
- John and Karen were holding hands at the park; it was lovely.

We can use adverbs of manner with comparative structures as. “Nearly as…as”, “Almost as…as”
a. Freshmen don’t write essays nearly as perfectly as sophomores do.
b. Juniors protest against the new university laws almost as passionately as seniors do.
