Dear Alan,
I am an English learner. I want to know the meanings or the differences between the expressions " a beautifully sunny morning" vs " a beautiful sunny morning".
Thank you for helping!
kind regards Bernd
The second is more natural, that is all.
Hello MM,
is that really the point? I considered beautifully an adverb and thus not suitable since there isn’t a verb.
Thanks in advance
Michael
Hi Michael, adverbs can also modify adjectives:
a fairly conventional approach
a shockingly candid conversation
an enormously productive day
etc.[YSaerTTEW443543]

Hi Bernd,
There certainly is a difference: ‘beautifully’ is an adverb and defines the following adjective (sunny), therefore ‘a beautifully sunny morning’ puts emphasis on the fact that it is sunny and that you like that. In the second expression, ‘beautiful’ is the adjective that defines ‘morning’ (as does ‘sunny’), so here the morning is not only sunny, it is also beautiful. Compare this with ‘an awfully sunny morning’, which you could say if you hate the sun or if the sun is unusually bright, for example.
Hope this helps 
hi Torsten,
I’m happy that this is no live lesson. You’d probably would see the blush arising on my cheeks.
Now that you mentioned the above feasibility I remember that you yet taught me that the other day.
Nonetheless, thank you again
Michael
Why do people say The sun shines brightly but The sun is bright? Can we say The sun shines bright?
Not if you care about the grammar. Otherwise, yes.
What about the first two sentences? Are they correct?
If you mean “the sun shines brightly,” and “The sun is bright,” yes.
