We use adverbs to describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often have the form of an adjective + -ly. There are many types of adverbs, and the ones ending in -ly are usually adverbs of degree (e.g., totally, completely) and adverbs of manner (e.g., quickly, slowly).

In this class you will learn the grammatical rules to form adverbs by adding -ly to adjectives:

General rule: add -ly after the adjective

Adjective	Adverb
honest	honestly
fair	fairly
slow	slowly
calm	calmly

Examples:

Sarah left the party quickly.
He was behaving calmly yesterday.

If the adjective ends in consonant + y, change the y to an i and add -ly

Adjective	Adverb
happy	happily
lucky	luckily
angry	angrily
easy	easily

Examples:

Let's go home. The ice cream is melting quickly.
It was the first time I saw Bob react so angrily.

If the adjective ends in ic, add -ally

Adjective	Adverb
automatic	automatically
dramatic	dramatically
basic	basically
magic	magically

Examples:

These three colors are basically the same.
Lately, the weather has changed dramatically.

If the adjective ends in le, change the le to -ly

Adjective	Adverb
possible	possibly
incredible	incredibly
terrible	terribly
horrible	horribly

Examples:

Skipping class makes me feel terribly guilty.
Jacky felt incredibly sad after the final exams.

If the adjective ends in l, double the l and add -ly

Adjective	Adverb
beautiful	beautifully
careful	carefully
hopeful	hopefully
historical	historically

Examples:

Sam sings beautifully.
Hopefully, she won’t see us.

Some adverbs have the same form as adjectives. You don’t need to add -ly. Let’s see a list of the most common ones:

fast
left
hard
right
outside
straight
late
well
little
early

Examples:

They can swim really fast.
The students are working hard to learn this topic.
