Grammar / Adverbs

In Spanish, as in English, most adverbs are made by adding a suffix to adjectives. To create an adverb from an adjective that is inflected, i.e ends in -o or -a, inflect the adjective for the feminine form. Then add -mente. However, there are also many common adverbs that exist on their own and do not end in -mente. [Source]
