Important Points to Remember:
* Not all nouns can be changed into adjectives or adverbs. For example, "table" or "cat" don't have common adjective or adverb forms.
* There are irregularities. Some words change in unexpected ways. For instance, *good* becomes *well* when used as an adverb.
* Context is key. "He's a fast driver" is different from "He drove quickly." The choice of adjective or adverb depends on what you want to emphasize.
Learning Tips:
* Pay attention to patterns. Notice how suffixes are used to create adjectives and adverbs.
* Look for common words. Build a vocabulary of frequently used adjective and adverb forms.
* Use a dictionary. If you are unsure how to change a noun, check a dictionary for the adjective and adverb forms.
* Practice, practice, practice. The more you use these forms, the more familiar you will become with them.
Remember that language is constantly evolving, and there are always exceptions to the rules. The best way to master this is to read widely and observe how adjectives and adverbs are used in different contexts.
