Explicación:

- La regla general para formar adverbios es añadir la terminación “ly” a un adjetivo, que equivale a la terminación en castellano de (“mente”).

Ejemplos:

• quick →   quickly(rápido → rápidamente)

• honest →   honestly(honrado → honradamente)

- Para los adjetivos que terminan en consonante + “y,” se cambia “y” por “ily.”

Ejemplos:

• easy →   easily(fácil → fácilmente)
• happy →   happily(alegre → alegremente)

- Adjetivos terminados en “le,” se cambia la terminación “le” por “ly.”

Ejemplos:

• terrible →   terribly(terrible → terriblemente)
• incredible →   incredibly( increíble → increíblemente)

- También existen algunos adverbios irregulares, aquí te dejo una lista de algunos de ellos:

• good → well
• fast → fast
• hard → hard
• late → late
• early → early
• daily → daily
