Ehennn, you are mentioning me again...if I answer in full nau, you will spew a conspirator theory that has no head or tail. Abeg, I'm an educated woman, but I'm afraid I cannot speak intelligently on the evolving habits in the usage of the English language. What I do know, is that "fondly memories", does not ring correct and that I and my household, owe nobody any explanation and will continue to stick to all that we know that we know. Thank you. 1 Like |

LordsApostle:"fond" memories not "fondly" Fondly : Adverb Fond: Adjective Memories: Noun An adjective qualifies a noun. Hence, "fond" is appropriate 1 Like |

phemmyfour:You're back again? It's obviously 'fond memories'. If you read books you'll come across it a lot. Rocktation abi whatever she calls herself should suggest an English section on this forum. She should make it a sub-section of the education section. People like LordsApostle and others ready to improve their grammar will dominate there. It will also play a lot of good on this forum as most of the stomach-wrenching grammar will disappear. 1 Like |

Sorry sir, it just reoccured to me, an adverb can also qualify a noun too, or are u forgetting? phemmyfour: |
Re: English Grammar : Is "Fondly Memories" Correct? by phemmyfour: 5:53am On Jul 15, 2018 |
LordsApostle:No, it qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb, The word adverb was coined from "+verb," literally "that which is added to a verb. |
