AdjectivesHSK 4

Turning adjectives into adverbs

To turn an adjective into an adverb, place the structural particle 地 (de) after the adjective and before the verb. This pattern is similar to adding '-ly' in English. The most common pitfall is confusing 地 with 的, which is used for possession or attributive modification.

Structure

Subj. + Adj. + 地 + Verb
