However, there are adjectives and nouns that also end in -ly- How do we know? -> Thumb rule If a word ends in -ly and you remove this ending and discover a noun, then it is an adjective. If you remove the -ly and find an adjective, then it is an adverb Eg_ wifely - wife -> adjective quietly - quiet -> adverb
