of the Twin Towers.

(3) The soup smells wonderful
(4) He danced in a jolly way
Forklaring: (1)Terrible er et adjektiv der lgger sig til substantivet / navneordet

adjektiv.
(4) adjektiver der ender p -ly (silly, jolly, ugly, friendly, lovely og lively)

beskrive MDEN noget sker p), skal man derfor omskrive med in a
way eller in a manner.
