Or �worriedly� for the second one. I would say that worryingly is your reaction to how she looks at things...

Hi Tommy. It�s not a word in regular use; most people would say �anxiously� or �nervously�. Maybe that is why I can�t seem to find any links which would explain this. However, I would use �worriedly� here, if that is your choice, not �worryingly�. The explanation is that it is the adverb from �worried� that is, she is looking at everything in a worried fashion. �Worryingly� means that it is going to cause worry. Here are a few examples. She looks worryingly thin. I am looking worriedly at the political situation. Maybe you�ll get some further clarification from others. |

No worries, Les! I am sending you a lovely milky coffee; sadly you�ll just have to imagine it! If only I could post pictures on this blinking new computer:( I haven�t made a single worksheet since I got it, either.  I hope people aren�t feeling this loss too keenly.  Lynne |

I�m about to try uploading a worksheet, just a plain simple thing after a mega-struggle... Hope I will be successful but I�m probably going to be nincompooped. :(( Hope this doesn�t count as advertising my ws ha ha! Actually, it�s excellent! My travels resume next week. Off to Malta. You and I lead the life of Riley, eh Monique? I�m coming to France and Spain soon. |
