What is friendly as an adverb?

"Friendly" is an adjective, not an adverb.

Here's why:

* Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns (people, places, things, ideas).

* Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer questions like "how," "when," "where," or "to what extent."

To use "friendly" as an adverb, you need to use a related word:

* Friendly (adjective): "The dog was friendly."

* Friendlily (adverb): "The dog greeted us friendlily."

Examples:

* Adjective: "She gave me a friendly smile."

* Adverb: "She greeted me friendlily."
