Verbs after which only adjectives are used

Submitted by Просто юзер on Thu, 03/04/2010 - 11:16
Use only adjectives (not adverbs) after these verbs:
  1. to be;
  2. to get;
  3. to become;
  4. to seem;
  5. to appear;
  6. to fell;
  7. to sound;
  8. to taste;
  9. to smell;
  10. to look.
Examples with good (adj) / well (adv): You look good! I've been learning English for three years, so I speak it quite well. I think it would be a good idea to discuss this at next week's meeting.
