Common mistakes
She felt uneasily about moving to a new city.She felt uneasy about moving to a new city.
felt 是连系动词，后面应接形容词作表语描述主语的状态，而不是用副词修饰动作，所以应用 uneasy 而非 uneasily。
He smiled uneasy at me and looked down.He smiled uneasily at me and looked down.
smiled 是动作动词，修饰动作应使用副词 uneasily；形容词 uneasy 不能作状语，因此需改为 uneasily。
