NOTA

► ADVERBIOS TERMINADOS EN '-LY'

1. Formación

En inglés los adverbios terminados en '-ly' son equivalentes a los adverbios terminados en '-mente'- del español. En ambos casos se trata de adverbios de modo.

Así como en español estos adverbios de modo se forman añadiendo el sufijo (= terminación) '-mente' a la forma femenina singular de los adjetivos, en inglés, los adverbios de modo se forman añadiendo el sufijo '-ly' a los adjetivos.  

Ejemplos:

• quick (= rápido) ➙ quickLY (= rápidamente)  

• intelligent (= inteligente) ➙ intelligentLY (= inteligentemente)  

• general (= general) ➙ generalLY (= generalmente)  

• careful (= cuidadoso) ➙ carefulLY (= cuidadosamente)

• useful (= útil) ➙ usefulLY (= útilmente)

Cuando el adjetivo termina en '-y', se cambia esa '-y' por '-i' antes de añadir el sufijo '-ly' para formar el adverbio.

Ejemplos:

• easy (= fácil) ➙ easILY (= fácilmente)  

• happy (= feliz) ➙ happILY (= felizmente)

➜ COMPARATIVO DE LOS ADVERBIOS

a) El comparativo de superioridad de un adverbio regular se forma igual que el de los adjetivos largos: se añade el adverbio 'more' delante del adverbio y la palabra 'than' después del adverbio:

Ejemplos:

• slowly (= lentamente) ➙ more slowly than (= más lentamente que)

• kindly (= amablemente) ➙ more kindly than (= más amablemente que)

b) El comparativo de inferioridad de un adverbio regular se forma igual que el de los adjetivos largos: se añade el adverbio 'less' delante del adverbio y la palabra 'than' después del adverbio:

Ejemplos:

• slowly (= lentamente) ➙ less slowly than (= menos lentamente que)

• kindly (= amablemente) ➙ less kindly than (= menos amablemente que)

c) El comparativo de igualdad de un adverbio regular se forma igual que el de los adjetivos largos: se añade la palabra 'as' antes y después del adverbio:

Ejemplos:

• slowly (= lentamente) ➙ as slowly as (= tan lentamente como)

• kindly (= amablemente) ➙ as kindly as (= tan amablemente como)

d) Algunos adverbios tienen comparativos irregulares.

Ejemplos:

• well (= bien) ➙ better  (= mejor)

• badly (= mal) ➙ worse (= peor)

• far (= lejos) ➙ farther/further (= más lejos)

• little (= poco) ➙ worse (= less)
