Expert writing Tips

Best practice

Prefer using adverbs to modify verbs and adjectives to modify nouns.

Common error

Avoid using "kindly" directly before nouns like "assistance". "Kindly" is an adverb and should modify verbs. Instead, use "kind" as the adjective: "kind assistance".

Linguistic Context

The phrase "kindly assistance" functions as a noun phrase, where "kindly" attempts to act as an adjective modifying "assistance". However, Ludwig AI indicates this is not standard English usage. Instead, "kind" is the appropriate adjective.

Ludwig's WRAP-UP

In summary, while the phrase "kindly assistance" might seem polite, it is grammatically incorrect. As Ludwig AI points out, it's better to use "kind assistance" because "kindly" is an adverb and should modify verbs, not nouns. Although some sources, mostly in science, use it, it's not considered standard English. To be safe, opt for alternatives like "kind help" or rephrase the sentence to use "kindly" as an adverb (e.g., "Please "kindly assist"").
