Hi sophie,
Main difference between loud, aloud & loudly is that 'loudly' & 'aloud' are adverbs, but 'loud' is an adjective.
Secondly, 'aloud' means like -enable everyone to hear sth, e.g to read sth aloud,
but 'loudly' refers mostly to the power of the sound.
So the answers to your questions would be:
1) a
2) b
3) d
I don't know whether my explanation is sufficient for you but still I tried to make it clear. Good luck  |

I agree with CarollynTee. Loud is an adjective (but it can be an adverb, so loud = loudly in these cases: You've got the telly on too loud. The band was playing so loud, we couldn't hear each other.) Aloud = out loud.

| I read in one of my grammar books that in informal English, the adjectives cheap, loud, quick and slow can be adverbs: They sell things cheap/cheaply there. Come as quick/quickly as you can. |

Yes, "loud" can be adverbs, and I agree with Carollyn's answers for Sophie's questions. However I think we haven't been able to give her a satisfying explaination for these words yet. May we have ideas of some native speakers, please?
P.S: Hi Inga, you are an English teacher, aren't you? |

Not an English teacher but a teacher of English.

That's all right, Inga, nice to get acquainted with you
By the way, could any native speaker please let us know your idea?
Many thanks

Excuse me but this matter seems a bit serious to non-natives speakers like us, so please share your idea...
Many thanks
