Adverbs of Formation in Spanish

Learn how to use adverbs of formation in Spanish. Adverbs are words that describe, or modify, verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. Note:Most Spanish adverbs are formed by adding “-mente”to the feminine singular form of the adjective. This ending corresponds to -ly in English.

English– Adjective– Fem. Form– Adverb

clear, clearly– claro– clara– claramente

constant, constantly– constante– constante– constantemente

hard, hardly– difícil– difícil– difícilmente

 

Note: When an adjective has a written accent, the adverb retains it. Note: Another way to form an adverb is to use the preposition “con” + the singular form of the noun. e.g. cuidadoso (carefully) cuidadosamente or con cuidado perfecto (perfectly) perfectamente or con perfección cariñoso (affectionately) cariñosamente or con cariño  

Here is a list of some common ones:

bastante – quite demasiado – too mal – badly mucho a lot muy – very nunca – never peor – worse poco – little siempre – always   Note: When two adverbs modify the same verb, only the second one uses the “-mente” ending. Note that the first adverb is the same as the feminine singular form of the adjective. e.g. Paola trabaja lenta y cuidadosamente. – Paola works slowly and carefully. El chica le habló clara y firmemente. – The girl spoke to her clearly and firmly
