Adverbs ending in -mente
We know that an adjective is a word that
describes or tells more about a noun than we knew
before. An adverb, of course, modifies a verb
and tells how or when an action occurred.
In Spanish, many adverbs are formed by simply
adding the suffix -mente to an adjective. This
suffix is the equivalent to the English ending
-ly.

easy

mente.
easily
If an adjective requires an accent mark, the
accent remains on the adverb.
