    Adverbs are used to describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs by providing more details about how an action is performed. Adverbs usually follow verbs. Common ways to form adverbs from adjectives are to add "-ly" or replace a word ending in "y" with "ily". However, not all words ending in "-ly" are adverbs. Adverbs and adjectives are different parts of speech so it is important to identify them correctly in sentences.

    Adverbs

    We use adverbs to say how people do things; they add more information and give more meaning of a
    verb, an adjective or another adverb. Adverbs usually go after the verb.

    I speak English very well. Not I very well speak English.


    I do my homework quickly. Not I quickly do my homework.

    Rules to make adverbs from adjectives.


    Adjectiv Adverb Example Spelling
    e
    Slow Slowly I write slowly
    Quick Quickly I do my homework quickly
    Most adverbs en with –ly
    Bad Badly I wanted it so badly
    Careful Carefully I need to do my things carefully
    Happy Happily My mom is always cooking happily Consonant + y we replace
    Easy Easily I did my exam easily the y with -ily
    Automatic Automaticall I need to speak English automatically
    Adjectives ending in –ic we
    Fantastic y I need to pass my exam fantastically
    write the adjective + ally
    Fantastically

    Remember the difference between adjectives and adverbs.

    I’m a careful driver. (Adjective)


    I drive carefully. (Adverb)

    Notice and be careful. Not all words that end in –ly are adverbs. For example: Friendly = adjective.

    He’s a friendly person.
