you speak very clearly vs you're speaking very clear

The correct phrase is 'you speak very clearly.' The incorrect phrase 'you're speaking very clear' should be 'you're speaking very clearly.' 'Clearly' is an adverb that describes the verb 'speak,' so it should not be changed to 'clear,' which is an adjective.
