Hello, just one question which is certainly very easy to answer..

he makes himself suspicious..or suspiciously??

[laus]

im sure its 'suspicious'

[pavilion]

It's "suspicious", since "suspiciously" is an adverb. However, the sentence is awkward and doesn't sound natural. It would be better to say:

He is acting suspicious.
He looks suspicious.
His actions are suspicious.

Hope this helped!

hey, thanks for replyling but yet I've still got a question: Why do I say "He acts suspicious" rather than "he acts suspiciously"?
