Let’s Study This

Adverbs of manner are words that tell us how the verb is being performed. They
describe the action and are usually found after the verb. We form adverbs by using an
adjective + ly

Rules for adverbs of manner:

 Adverbs of manner are made by adding -LY to the adjective:
bad - badly
glad - gladly
sad - sadly
proud - proudly

 When the word ends in a Y (for example happy) we must remove the -Y and add
-ILY: busy-busily
happy - happily
easy - easily
angry - angrily

 When the word ends in –L, we must add -LY.

painful - painfully
beautiful - beautifully
