what's the difference between 'glum', 'gloomy', 'dreary', 'dismally'
I started to read "The Hobbit" and found out that there is many thing which I can't understand by myself and my dictionary))
so I have a couple of questions:
First thing I want to know  is differences in the meaning between  'glum', 'gloomy', 'dreary', 'dismally' becouse for me, it's  practicly all the same.
 Аnd second, is only 'dismaly' an adverb?

Answer

glum = suddenly or silently gloomy
gloomy = dark or dim; causes gloom
dreary = something that causes sadness or gloom
dismally = causes gloom or dejection

"dreary," "dismally," and "gloomy" all mean the same thing.  They cause "gloom."  "Glum" describes something that has already become "gloomy".  I believe all of those words are adjectives and none of them are adverbs.
