Is behave an adjective or adverb?
Despite having the same meaning, to behave does not work the same way. It takes adverbs, as most verbs do. That said, it seems to be more and more common for English speakers (at least Americans) to never use adverbs and only ever use adjectives. You might hear a native speaker say, "behave impolite."
