Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / September 2004BAD and BADLY
Which is gramatically correct? "I feel badly for the family." "I feel bad for the family." My feeling is that the former is correct. Thank you for your consideration. PJ New Jersey > Which is gramatically correct? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > My feeling is that the former is correct. The second one is correct. The adjective refers to the subject "I". The verb "feel" is one of a number of verbs, known as copular verbs, that are usually followed by adjectives. Regards, Einde O'Callaghan |
