As with adjectives, adverbs are descriptors which are used to compliment another word (or words). Usually these other words are verbs, adjectives or other adverbs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making adverbs<\/b><\/h1>\n

The vast majority of adverbs are made by adding -ly to the end of an adjective. Example:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/p>

Quickly, generally, magically<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If the adjective already ends in a y, the y is removed and -ily is added. Example:<\/span><\/p>\n

Happily, angrily, prettily<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Some adverbs are irregular, meaning they are not formed by the usual addition of -ly. The adverb may be completely different or exactly the same as the original adjective. Examples:<\/span><\/p>\n

Well<\/span><\/i> (good), <\/span>fast <\/span><\/i>(fast)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Using adverbs effectively usually involves being able to identify their function and placing them in the correct part of the sentence or clause.<\/span><\/p>\n
