Which is (or are both) correct in the prentheses of the following sentence?
---- the following --------
The sun shines (bright/brightly).

[CP]

You want the adverb, "brightly," here, because you are talking about how the sun shines. It is modifying the verb.

If you want to use "bright," you can say:

The sun seems bright today.

The sun is bright.

Have you ever seen teh sun so bright?

Wow, it is really bright out!
