Common mistakes
I feel hungrily.I feel hungry.
feel 在此是系动词，后面应接形容词 hungry 作表语，表示“我感觉饿”；副词的 hungrily 不能作表语。中文“我觉得饿”中的“饿”是形容词。
He ate hungrily the cake.He ate the cake hungrily.
方式副词 hungrily 不能放在及物动词 ate 和宾语 the cake 之间；应放在宾语之后或谓语动词之前。中文“他饿极了地吃蛋糕”里“地”是状语标志，但英语语序不允许副词插入动宾之间。
He waited hungrily the bus.He waited hungrily for the bus.
wait 是不及物动词，后接等待的对象时必须先加介词 for；中文“等公共汽车”省略介词，但英语不能说 wait the bus。副词 hungrily 不影响这一搭配。

Memory Tip
联想记忆：hungry（饥饿的）变成副词时加-ly，变成hungrily，意即“饥饿地、贪婪地”，像饿狼扑食。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：描述某人因饥饿而急切吃东西的样子、比喻渴望或贪婪地追求某事物 hungrily 是中性副词，通常用于书面或较正式的叙述，多用来描述因饥饿而急切进食的样子；也可比喻为“渴望地、贪婪地”。日常口语中更常说 with hunger 或 eagerly，但 hungrily 本身并不算正式或生僻。
Pronunciation & Spelling
There are no common perfect rhymes. 'angrily' is a spelling lookalike with the same '-grily' ending and final /ɡrəli/, but its stressed vowel /æ/ differs from /ʌ/, so it does not rhyme. 'happily', 'easily', and 'greedily' share only the unstressed '-ily' syllable /ɪli/. 'hungry' matches the stressed syllable /hʌŋ/ and /ɡr/, but not the ending; 'hunk' shares /hʌŋ/ but with a final /k/.
