Adverbs
For some words, there is most common form, like for 좋다, 많다, most common form are 좋게 and 많이, but you can find forms like 좋이 and 많게.
My question is about the verbs that have both forms 히 and 게. In my textbook, it says that quite ofter 게 can be loosely translated into the situation 'to do smth to have a certain state/condition appear'.
I cannot find any info, but I feel like 히 is used where the conditions/state already present, and 게 where it is not yet, where you do smth to make the state appear.
For example:
분명히 - 어떤 것을 분명히 알아요. (I already know smth, the state is already present)
분명하게 - 분명하게 설명해 줄게요 (condition is not yet there, but it will be )
정확히 - 정확히 들었어요/봤어요 (I already heard/saw smth correctly)
정확하게 - 발음을 정확하게 하세요 (condition is not yet there, but it will be or I want it to be)
So I feel like 히 is used for past and present conditions, and 게 is used for future or desirable conditions.
Correct me where I am wrong.

-히 and -하게 mean exactly same. Both can be used as same adverb. So, 분명히 어떤 것을 알아요 and 분명하게 어떤 것을 알아요 mean same.
