Difference between hardly and hard !!!!!!

中学时期,英语老师曾经教导和提醒过我们,要study hard,千万不能study hardly。

Study Hardly和Study Hard的意思是不相同的。 

HARD加上LY, 意思真的是差十万八千里的,Hardly的意思是几乎没有,简直不。

_________________________________________________________________________________

HARD - difficult to understand, do, experience or deal with; needing or using a lot of 
physical or mental effort.

Examples:

Diamonds are extremely hard stones.

Jacky tried hard to improve herself. 

Albert worked very hard to make his business profitable.
_________________________________________________________________________________

The four meanings of ‘HARDLY’ are:

-very little/few, almost none or not
-very difficult, nearly impossible
-rarely
-absolutely not


Examples:

He ate hardly anything.     (hardly anything => almost nothing)

We hardly ever see our friends. They’re far too busy to find time for us.

I could hardly hear him speaking, he should have used a microphone.
