Adverbs

 

Adverbs adapt verbs, adjectives or added adverbs. Adverbs are placed afterwards the verb it modifies, and are placed afore the adverb it modifies:

You sing able-bodied => Cantas bien.

You sing actual able-bodied => Cantas muy bien.

To accomplish adverbs add -mente (like how we add -ly to adjectives in English). For example,

natural : artlessly :: accustomed : naturalmente

easy: calmly :: fácil : fácilmente

Here are some added with -mente endings:
