This topic focuses on the sentence-correction style questions that entry tests love. You will meet adverbs of manner such as brilliantly and sweetly, the placement of words like just, never and only, and inversion after negative adverbs (Never again will they stay here). Several items check whether a linking verb such as smell or look should take an adjective rather than an adverb, and others test missing words in comparisons like as long as. Because these errors look natural when read quickly, practising them builds the habit of checking every modifier before marking an answer in a timed English section.

The most common errors are wrong word order with just, only and never, using an adverb after a linking verb (smells sweetly instead of smells sweet), and missing inversion after a negative adverb at the start of a sentence. Incomplete comparisons such as as long twenty-five years instead of as long as twenty-five years also appear regularly.
It is incorrect because smell is used here as a linking verb, which describes the subject rather than an action. Linking verbs such as smell, taste, look, feel and seem are followed by adjectives, so the correct sentence is Some flowers don't smell sweet. Use an adverb only when the verb shows an action, as in She sang sweetly.
