Para transformar un adjetivo en Adverbio, generalmente al Adjetivo se le agrega –Ly al final.
Si el Adjetivo termina en –Y, se cambia por –I, y se agrega atras –Ly.
Si el Adjetivo termina en –Le, se escribe –Ly en su lugar.
Si termina en –E, se agrega directamente –Ly al final.
Existen formas irregulares donde para formar el Adverbio desde un Adjetivo no se agrega –Ly, sino que cambia la palabra o queda igual...
Good > Well (irregular).
Fast > Fast (irregular).
Hard > Hard (irregular).
Tener en cuenta que no todas las palabras terminadas en –Ly son Adverbios.
