This is the last thing you want to tell your teacher.

I think it's time for me to let you.

The difference between hard and hartley, let's get to it.

Mm 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, they use hardly as an adverb and 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 and it describes a noun because, as you know, an adjective describes a noun.

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's a beautiful dancer.

It describes, announced 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 the adjective, hard is hard and hardly means almost not.

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