Adverbs are basically developed verbs to shape meaning. They tell you how, when and where something happened or how something is done.
Formation:
Almost all of them end with -ment. English adverbs end with -ly.
1) Add -ment to the feminine singular form of the adjective.
2) But, when the masucline singular ends with a vowel, add -ment to it directly.
3)When the masculine adjective ends in -ent or -ant :
- remove the -ent or -ant
and add
-emment or -amment
Eg:
récent → réc(ent) → réc + -emment = récemment = recently
constant → const(ant) → const + -amment = constamment = constantly
Exception:
lent → lentement = slowly
Irregular adverbs:
bref → brièvement - briefly
gentil → gentiment - kindly/gently
