ABSTRACT
Adverbs are words which describe the action of a verb: she drives fast; he speaks loudly. Some adverbs can qualify an adjective or adverb, e.g. very (fast), quite (loud), too (hard). Adverbs are words which describe an action: well, fast, slowly, etc. Many Spanish adverbs are formed by adding -mente to the feminine singular form of an adjective, if this is different from the masculine singular. When two adverbs are used together, only the second one has -mente on the end. The comparative and superlative of adverbs are formed and used in exactly the same way as those of adjectives. In English, most words which end in -ly are adverbs: naturally, romantically, sadly, etc. In Spanish, many adverbs are made by adding -mente to the feminine singular form of an adjective, if it is different from the masculine.
