1. The grass grows thick in the garden.
2. The grass grows thickly in the garden.

3. The grass grows thin in the garden.
4. The grass grows thinly in the garden.
(Which expressions are correct and grammatical?)

Since I could say, "The grass is thick [or thin] in the garden," and keep the same meaning, I would use sentences 1 and 3.

Scroll down a bit and read all about the "multiple personalities" verbs!!

Thank you for your help.

1. The grass grows thick in the garden.
2. The grass becomes thick in the
garden.
(Does #1 mean #2? or is 'thick' used as an adverb?)

In both sentences, "thick" is a predicate adjective describing "grass."

1. The grass grows thick in the garden.

(In this sentence, Does 'the garden' mean a specific garden or is 'the garden' used in generic use?)

It means a specific garden.

In the sentence "The grass grows thick in the garden," the phrase "the garden" is used in a generic or indefinite way. It does not refer to a specific garden, but rather to any garden in general. This use of "the" is commonly seen when talking about categories or types of things. So, the sentence means that in gardens in general, the grass grows thick.
