笔记:加 ly 不一定是副词

加 ly 变副词,但有些单词以 ly 结尾,长得像副词,却是形容词。

costly = cost + ly
a costly item.
一件昂贵的物品。

lovely = love + ly
She had a lovely face.
她有一张漂亮的脸蛋。

friendly = friend + ly
a friendly face.
友好的面容。

cowardly = coward + ly
I was too cowardly to complain.
我太胆小,不敢抱怨。

它们都是由名词 + ly 形成的。
结论:名词 + ly 可以构成形容词。
