In the Level two exercises for 'When should I use -a or -e' there is the following sentence:
"Estus tre util_ por vi veturi al seminario" (It would be really useful for you to go to the seminar)
Can someone please explain to me why the correct answer here is 'utile' rather than 'utila'? I don't get it at all.

mnlg:Because it refers to the verb. When you need to describe a verb, you must use an adverb. Adjectives are to be used with nouns.
"solvo estas facila"
"solvi estas facile"
