[Grammar] Live happily

[sky3120]

Hello, I came back with a question. Today's question is about "live + adjectives or adverbs". For example, I know that "live happily" is correct. Then, how about "live young" and "live smart "? I do not think "young" and "smart" can be used as an adverb here. Then. "live" can be followed by adjectives? Thanks in advance a lot all the time.

I can't think of a sentence where live is followed by an adjective only.

What you can say is 'They lived long and happy lives'.

Hello, I have come back with a question.

When you wrote this, you were here. You need a present tense, and the present perfect is perfect for this situation.

To your question:
"Live smart" and all other uses of adjectives instead of adverbs, are technically wrong. But you will see this in informal English very often. For example, "Run quick[ly]; You walk too slow[ly]..." It would be considered normal by many native speakers.
