Forming adverbs from adjectives: spelling and sentence position
What do you remember about this?
Show explanation
To form many adverbs, add -ly to an adjective: careful becomes carefully. With an adjective ending in consonant plus y, change y to i and add -ly: happy becomes happily. Check the sentence too: an adjective describes a noun, while an adverb often tells how an action happens.
The careful driver checked the map carefully.
