Make sure the block wall is clean of debris so it is nice and flat. Then you can use construction adhesive or liquid nails to press the drywall directly to the cinder block. Make sure to keep the drywall off the ground about a half an inch! That way if there’s ever water on the ground it won’t soak directly into the drywall. Use 1-inch masonry nails to securely mount the drywall to the concrete block while the glue dries. A moisture-resistant drywall is always a good idea on a block wall. Hope you find a video useful.
