grammaticality - Which one is correct "You heard it correct" or "You heard it correctly"?
Which one is correct?
You heard it correct
or
You heard it correctly
Does the same apply to read it correct[ly]?
Answer
Correct is an adjective and correctly is an adverb. In Standard English, but not necessarily in other varieties of the language, verbs are modified by adverbs, so You heard it correctly is grammatical in Standard English and You heard it correct is not.
