Friendly

Sir,

She behaved friendly.


"friendly" here as an adverb?

Am I correct?

Thanks.

... you can know ...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This is unnatural English, Paco. 'know' feels like right now; 'know' is a word of habit/routine/state, but this pattern you've written [also, you wrote] points to a future happening, ie. "finding out something".

... you can find out which ... OR

possible, but not as likely: ...

Thank you for the correction. Yes I should have written "you can find out". This kind of word usage is very difficult to learn for learners like me. Do you know in what way we can fast learn them descritively (I mean, without consulting dictionaries, without being taught by teachers)?

It's extremely difficult to change language habits once you reach adulthood, Paco. The truly motivated seem to learn from one correction and yet for others, a thousand reminders just can't seem to override a fossilized error.

It's up to you whether you make the necessary adjustment in the future. Ganbatte!
