LINK VERBS + ADJECTIVES

Link verbsare never followed by adverbs, only by adjectives. Russian and Ukrainian learners often make mistakes in the following:

  • Мне холодно. (adverb) - I am cold. (adjective)
  • Она посмотрела на него холодно. (adverb) - She looked at him coldly. (adverb)
  • Cyп пахнет хорошо. (adverb) - The soup smells nice. (adjective)
  • Ребенок вел себя хорошо. (adverb) - The child behaved nicely. (adverb)

BUT: to feel well (physical state) ≠ to feel good (feeling happy or confident about smth)

to feel bad (physical state) ≠ to feel badly (not to feel smth with your fingers when you touch it)

  • How is your granny? - She feels well. / She feels bad.
  • How’s your granny’s hand after the operation? - She feels badly; her finger are still stiff.
  • I feel good about our visit to granny on Saturday.
