Hi Alex
If what you mean is "The banquet was beautiful", then you're better off to say it just that way (i.e. with 'was'). The use of 'beautiful' would basically be a description of how things looked and/or felt at the banquet.
If what you mean is closer to the idea that everything went well, as planned and without a hitch, then you should use 'beautifully'. _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Hi, Amy
Actually, I intended to convey the second idea, that is, everything went off without a hitch. :) By the way, I'd like to ask you in the bargain if everything went off without a hitch and everything went without a hitch. have basicaly the same idea?
Thank you again ! |

Hi Alex
Yes, you could say that with or without the word 'off'. I'd say that 'went off' sounds a little more informal. . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
