I've ever seen.
4. He has much more. free time than I.

В пятом предложении мы имеем глагол sound. Вот, что
говорит правило:
We use adjectives after : feel smell, taste, sound, seem,
look:
Do you feel tired? The dinner smells
good. Tom sounded angry when I spoke to
him on the phone.
This tea tastes a bit strange. Your friend seems
very nice.
But after other verbs you must use adverbs. Drive
carefully! Susan plays the piano very
well. Tom shouted at me angrily. LOOK. We use an adj.
after LOOK WHEN IT MEANS seem: Tom looked
sad when I saw him. But after LOOK at we use an
adverb. - Tom looked at me sadly.
Не следует смешивать hard -
настойчиво, упорно, энергично и hardly-
едва, почти не. Наречие hard всегда стоит ПОСЛЕ глагола,
hardly - ПЕРЕД глаголом.
He worked hard.
He hardly worked- он почти не работал.
Не следует смешивать наречие well - хорошо и прилагательное well,
которое употребляется только после глаголов -связок to be, to feel. He
works well. ( нареч). He is well. ( он чувствует себя хорошо.
- прилаг)
Не следует смешивать прилагательные well и good,
употребляющиеся после глагола- связки.

you go to the cinema very often? Not now
but I used to. Tom used to travel a lot.
These days he doesn't go away very often.
We also use USED TO for past situations ( which no longer
exist).
