IX. FORMATION OF ADVERBS
(This material is also covered in grammar point #103 of Destinos II.)
The most common way to form adverbs in Spanish is to add -mente to the feminine singular form
of an adjective:
adjective feminine singualar form ADVERB
rápido rápida rápidamente
difícil difícil difícilmente
fuerte fuerte fuertemente
If the adjective form has a written accent, the adverb will maintain it (fácil-fácilmente).
If there are two or more adverbs in a row, only the final adverb ends in mente.
Examples:
Ella lee fácilmente en español.
Salen frecuentemente.
Habla concisa, correcta y rápidamente.
She reads easily in Spanish.
They go out frequently.
She speaks concisely, correctly and rapidly.
