-
Many adverbs end in -ly. We form such adverbs by adding
-ly to the adjective.
-
For example:
Quick becomes quickly ,
sudden becomes suddenly,
intelligent becomes intelligently.
But not all words that end in -ly are adverbs.
"Friendly", For example, is an adjective.
-
To form an adverb from adjectives ending in -y change
the y to i before adding the -ly.
-
For example:
angry becomes angrily ,
busy becomes busily
-
To form an adverb from adjectives that end in -e drop
the -e before adding the -ly.
-
For example:
true becomes truly .
-
Some adjectives that end in -ly need no changes.
-
For example:
heavenly
However, there are exceptions.
For example:
shy
becomes shyly.
Some adverbs have no particular form, For example:
well, fast, very, never,
always, often, hard, straight still.
