Brucy
Flatly . Dryly , darkly
I am reading a novel and I saw these two words "dryly darkly and flatly"to describe the way someone say s may times.
What do they mean? How should I use it ?
Could you make any examples ? The more the better!If he was very sad and looked at
Me
Can I say
He looked at me darkly ?

If you mean that these words are used to describe how someone says something, then they could mean the following:
Flatly - without emotion
Dryly - using dry humour
Darkly - with sinister overtones

hello
Sorry I'm not sure what this means - someone say s may times.
If it is from a book try making your own example for us to correct for you.
I would suggest trying even one of these words in a sentence then we can correct them and give you ideas then :)
