Adverbs tell us more about a verb — how, when or where something happens. Many adverbs are made by adding -ly to an adjective: quick becomes quickly, and happy becomes happily.

- Know that adverbs describe how an action is done
- Add -ly to adjectives to make adverbs
- Spell tricky -ly words like happily, gently and easily

Adding -ly
Most words just add -ly: slow → slowly. Words ending in y change it to i: happy → happily. Words ending in -le drop the e and add y: gentle → gently.
Not every -ly word is an adverb. “Lovely” and “friendly” describe nouns, so they are adjectives — a good puzzle for sharp readers.
