So sorry that there has been a delay in this new entry. If there were 36 hours in a day I would still be behind. Today I want to talk some more about grammar. I hear wrong usage on TV and read wrong usage in the paper and other articles with copulative verbs. A copulative verb is a verb that joins the subject to an adjective. These are examples of copulative verbs:
feels
smells
appears
looks
These verbs(there are others) are to be modified by an adjective...not an adverb.
You would say "feels bad" "smells sweet" "appears sad" "looks mean"
How many times do you hear.."feels badly"? ending in an ly means that it is an adverb. If you put the adjective back to the subject...you can tell more easily that this is right or wrong. "Sarah feels bad ( or badly). Is it bad Sarah or badly Sarah? The flower smells sweet (or sweetly). Is it sweet flower or sweetly flower. I am sure there are many more rules you can use to remember this. But, this helps me.
