Do you know how to use 'fine' and 'finely'?

They can both be used as adverbs

but 'fine' can also be used as an adjective.

Let's look at some sentences.

I broke my phone yesterday but it's working fine now.

Here, 'fine' is an adverb of manner

because it indicates doing something

in a satisfactory manner.

I was tired but I feel fine now.

Here 'fine' is an adjective but notice how it sits after

the verb and it means 'OK'

I ruined the recipe.

I forgot to finely chop the onions.

In this sentence, 'finely' is an adverb of degree

and it describes how small

something needs to be cut up.

Right I'm going to try that recipe again.

I won't forget to finely chop the onions this time!

Bye for now!
