ADVERBS: How adverbs are formed
Rules
[note]1. In most cases, an adverb is formed by adding ‘-ly’ to an adjective:[/note]
| Adjective | Adverb |
| cheap quick slow |
cheaply quickly slowly |
Examples:
- Time goes quickly.
- He walked slowly to the door.
- She certainly had an interesting life.
- He carefully picked up the sleeping child.
Rules
[note]If the adjective ends in ‘-y’, replace the ‘y’ with ‘i’ and add ‘-ly’:[/note]
| Adjective | Adverb |
| easy angry happy lucky |
easily angrily happily luckily |
[note]If the adjective ends in -‘able’, ‘-ible’, or ‘-le’, replace the ‘-e’ with ‘-y’:[/note]
| Adjective | Adverb |
| probable terrible gentle |
probably terribly gently |
[note]If the adjective ends in ‘-ic’, add ‘-ally’:[/note]
| Adjective | Adverb |
| basic economic tragic |
basically economically tragically |
Note: Exception: public – publicly
[note]2. Some adverbs have the same form as the adjective:[/note]
| Adjective and Adverb | |
| early fast hard high |
late near straight wrong |
Compare:
- It is a fast car.
- He drives very fast.
- This is a hard exercise.
- He works hard.
- We saw many high buildings.
- The bird flew high in the sky.
[highlight]3. ‘Well’ and ‘good'[/highlight]
[note]’Well’ is the adverb that corresponds to the adjective ‘good’. [/note]
Examples:
- He is a good student.
- He studies well.
- She is a good pianist.
- She plays the piano well.
- They are good swimmers.
- They swim well.
