Grammar
The following sentence is incorrect, but how do I explain it in grammatical terms??
0 Hello, 02 br
02 br
00 I'm not an English teacher by profession, though I'm helping out some German friends with their English. 02 br
02 br
00 They usually ask for a more grammatical explanation The following sentence is clearly incorrect, but how do I explain it in grammatical terms? 02 br
02 br
01 b 00 * 01 i 00 I worked really hardly and we got the contract 02 i 00 . 02 b 02 br
02 br
00 I think it's got something to do with not following one adverb ending in -ly with another - but then again, we can say 'really,really...' 02 br
02 br
00 I would be very grateful for any help to clarify this please 05 0 010id 1

02 br 00 Tell your German friends that 'hardly' means the same thing as the German word ' 01 i 00 kaum 02 i 00 '. That should do it. 05 0 00 If it doesn't, you can also tell them that the word 'hard' can be used both as an adjective AND an adverb.

0 No, it has to do with the meaning of the word 'hardly' -- which is quite different from the meaning of the word 'hard'. 02 br

0 The point is that after posting in anonymous mode you must wait several hours to see your posts. If you're in a rush, sign in, and post. Better to lose 1 minute for signing in, than wait for hours. 02 br
