In English grammar, an adverb of manner is an adverb (such as quickly or slowly) that describes how and in what way the action of a verb is carried out.
You always put it AFTER the verb or the object of the sentence.
HOW DO WE TRANSFORM AN ADJECTIVE TO AN ADVERB?Easy peasy lemon squeezy
GENERAL RULE:
you add -ly to the adjective
Ex: Slow → slowLY
If you speak SLOWLY I'll understand you.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. If the adjective ends in with ‘y’, replace the ‘y’ with an ‘i’ and add ‘-ly’.
Ex: happy → happILY easy → easILY
2. If the adjective ends with ‘-le’, replace the ‘e’ at the end with ‘y’.
Ex: gentle → gentLY possible → possibLY
3. If the adjective ends with ‘-ic’, add ‘-ally’.
Ex: automatic → automaticALLY basic → basicALLY
4. If the adjective ends with '-l', add '-ly'
Ex: careful → carefulLY
Pay attention! THERE ARE ALSO SOME 'IRREGULAR' ADVERBS:
Ex: fast → fast
early → early
late → late
high → high
hard → hard
Some others change completely.Ex: good → well
