Adverbios

 GENERAL USE
Adverbs provide more information about verbs or adjectives by describing how an action is performed, how often it is done, how intense a quality is, etc.:
Habla bien.
No estudiamos demasiado.
Es bastante difícil.
She speaks well.
We do not study too much.
It is quite difficult.
• Adverbs have no feminine or plural forms, and are placed as close to the verb as possible:
Son bastante difíciles.
Las peras están demasiado viejas.
Me gustan mucho las fiestas.
They’re quite difficult.
The pears are too old.
I like parties a lot.
~ Some adverbs, however, are also adjectives. As all other adjectives, thus, these must agree with the noun in number and genderTiene muchos problemas, bastantes preocupaciones y demasiadas deudas.
FORMATION OF ADVERBS FROM ADJECTIVES
• To form an adverb add -mente to the feminine form of an adjective:
lento → lentamente
rápido → rápidamente
feliz → felizmente
difícil → difícilmente
~ When used in a series, only the last adjective will add the suffix -mente:
Trabaja rápida y eficazmente.He works quickly and efficiently.
• The suffix -mente is rarely used with adjectives ending in -nte. Use adverbial phrases instead:
interestingly
frequently
intelligently
elegantly
more importantly
de manera interesante
con frecuencia
con inteligencia, de forma inteligente
con elegancia
lo que es más importante
• The common adjectives bueno and malo have their own corresponding adverbial forms:
(good) bueno → bien (well)(bad) malo → mal (badly)
Ella habla bien el italiano, pero canta mal.
