13.8 Derived adverbs |
Like in English many adverbs can be formed by using
an ending. In English it is
-ly. In Spanish it is -mente
appended to the feminine form of the adjective. If there
is no special feminine form because the adjective ends
on an e the ending -mente
is appended to this e.

Some adjectives are used as adverbs even though a suitable adverb does exist. In these cases the masculine form of the adjective is used as adverb. If you are unsure which one to use have search at Google. Usually the adverbial form is more commonly used.

tastes well!)
He is quick (not He
