Adverbs are usually formed by placing –ly after an adjective
Slow -> slowly, beautiful -> beautifully
Some adverbs are irregular
Good -> well
If the adjective ends with ‘y’ the ‘y’ changes into ‘i’ before adding –ly
Example: Angry -> angrily
If the adjective ends with –able, –ible or –le
The ‘e’ changes into ‘y’
Example: terrible -> terribly
If the adjective ends with –ic
Add –ally
Example: artistic -> artistically
