I think it's time for me to let you know the difference between hard and hardly.

Let's get to it.

Hello, guys.

My name's Fannie.

And in this video I'm going to tell you about a difference between hard and hardly because so many of my students keep making this huge mistake's they use hardly as an adverb.

This is incorrect.

Okay, so it's time to fix that mistake.

Let's look at some example, sentences together.

Okay, So if I say I'm a quick runner or I run quickly, the meaning is the exact same.

There's no difference.

But in the first sentence, I use an adjective.

I'm a quick runner on.

It describes a noun because, as you know, an adjective describes announced in the second sentence, I run quickly.

I go with an adverb that describes a verb.

Okay, Most of the time, you can go from an adjective to an adverb by adding l y so from quick we have the adverb quickly.

Same thing goes for the second sentence well, The third, actually.

She's a beautiful dancer.

She dances beautifully.

The meaning is the same.

But in the first sentence we use an adjective.

She is a beautiful dancer.

It describes a noun.

She dances beautifully.

That's an adverb.

Beautifully, we added.

L y So when you say you're a hard worker, you might think that you can say you work.

Hardly.

You add l y go from an adjective to an adverb.

Right?

Well, I'm sorry, guys, but this doesn't work.

It's incorrect because hard is an exception.

Hard is an adjective and an adverb.

It's the same word.

So you will say you work hard, Okay?

You're a hard worker.

You work hard.

Hard is an adverb as well.

Now the word hardly does exist in the English language.

The problem is that the meaning is completely different.

Hardly means almost not.

So actually, when you say you hardly work or you work hardly, it means you practically don't work.

You really don't work.

Okay?

So you'll understand if you tell me I work.

Hardly.

I'm going to get really angry.

Okay, so this is a huge mistake that you need to fix the adverb of theatric tive hard is hard and hardly means almost not.

So, for example, I work hardly means I almost don't work.

Andi, I work hard means I work a lot.

I hope you understand the difference between hardly and hard.

It is a common mistake.

But you need to fix it now if you want to be a good English speaker.
