LOS ADVERBIOS [ -LY]

ADVERBS ARE USED WITH VERBS TO DESCRIBE OR EXPLAIN HOW THINGS ARE DONE [QUICKLY, QUIETLY, STUPIDLY]

THE FORMATION OF ADVERBS IN SPANISH IS VERY EASY

ADJECTIVE + MENTE
IF THE ADJECTIVE FORM ENDS WITH A CONSONANT OR AN E, JUST ADD MENTE TO FORM THE ADVERB GENERAL GENERALMENTE; Generalmente me levanto a las 6:30. NORMALMENTE: Ellos normalmente hablan italiano con su familia.

NORMAL

INTELIGENTE

INTELIGENTEMENTEEl no actu inteligentemente cuando rob el banco.

when the adjective ends in o, the adverb is formed by changing the o to an a then adding -mente
Ellos corrieron rpidamente* [the adverb maintains whatever accent the adjective might have] rpidorpida--rpidamente

secreto-secretasecretamente

Ellas comunican secretamente.

extraoextraaextraamente

Ellos se visten extraamente.

!SON PALABRAS LARGAS!

Trabajamos lentamente y frecuentemente, y miserablemente.

When there are more than 2 adverbs in a sentence, the last one in the list maintains the mente. The others still change the o to a [if applicable] before dropping the mente; the others just drop the mente. Trabajamos lenta, frecuente y miserablemente.
