Basic Guidelines For English Spellings
READ THESE ARTICLES
Many adverbs are formed from adjectives and end in -ly. Here are some tips to help you form adverbs and spell them correctly:
adjective | adverb |
quick | quickly |
sudden | suddenly |
straightforward | straightforwardly |
adjective | adverb |
happy | happily |
hungry | hungrily |
lazy | lazily |
adjective | adverb |
terrible | terribly |
comfortable | comfortably |
incredible | incredibly |
Adjectives that end in -ly, such as friendly or lively, can't be made into adverbs by adding -ly. You have to use a different form of words, e.g. ‘in a friendly way’ or ‘in a lively way’ instead.
