Adverbs |
Adverbs are words that modify a verb or an adjective. They are used to say how something happened, as lentamente slowly, when and where it happened, as hoy today and aquí here, or to what degree, as muy very, among others. Unlike Spanish adjectives, Spanish adverbs are invariable, i.e. they don't have different endings for feminine, masculine, singular or plural:
Él es muy buen cocinero - He is a very good cook.
Ella es muy crítica - She is very critical.
Ella comió lentamente - She ate slowly.
Many Spanish adverbs are formed by adding -mente to the feminine form of the adjective:
tranquila calm - tranquilamente calmly
sencilla simple - sencillamente simply
