Adjectives:
real and really
MINI-LESSON #6
REAL
• Real is an adjective and should be used
to modify or describe only a noun or a
pronoun. Real is usually interchangeable
with genuine.
– Example:
• That is a real diamond.
• That is a genuine diamond.
REALLY
• Really is an adverb and should be used
only to modify verbs, adjectives, and
other adverbs. Remember, however, that
really is an overused equivalent of very,
unusually, and other such modifiers.
– Examples:
• Incorrect:
– That is a real difficult concept.
• Correct:
– That is a really difficult concept.
– That is a very difficult concept.
