Is there a special process to change verbs to adverbs to adjectives or nouns to adverbs to adjectives. Is there an easier way to do this?

You can make many adverbs by adding –ly to an adjective. slow -> slowly; loud -> loudly If an adjective ends in ‘y’, change it to an ‘i’. heavy -> heavily; funny -> funnily Add ‘ally’ to adjectives ending in ‘ic’.

  • slow -> slowly; loud -> loudly If an adjective ends in ‘y’, change it to an ‘i’.
  • heavy -> heavily; funny -> funnily Add ‘ally’ to adjectives ending in ‘ic’.
  • Physical -> physically; energetic -> energetically But not all words that end in -ly are adverbs.
  • The words friendly , lovely , lonely and neighbourly , for example, are all adjectives.
