- 'Peacefully', refers to an adverb which means 'in a peaceful manner'.
- Peaceful is an adjective while Peacefully is an adverb.
- Adding -ly to an adjective makes an adverb.
- We use adverbs to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause, or a whole sentence.
- For example -

- She still has powerful words of wisdom about the need to find peaceful means to resolve conflict. (adjective)
