New submission from Rim Chatti <chattir...@gmail.com>:

re.findall(r"\w+ly", text) does not find all adverbs in a sentence, it finds 
words that contain ly (not ending with ly) :
if text= 'andlying clearly', output: [andly, clearly]
which is wrong! 
the right way to do this is re.findall(r'\b(\w+ly)\b',text)
output= clearly!
