describe, or after verbs like be, feel, look, smet!, sound, taste, etc.

‘* When there is more than one adjective before a noun, we use them in this order:

We often form adverbs of manner by adding -ly to the end of an adjective.
Laura sailed bravely around the world.
Some adverbs of manner do not follow this rule.
Katie runs very fast.
‘Adverbs of manner usually go after the verb in a sentence. But if the sentence has an object, the adverb
