Adverbs of manner

We usually use adverbs of manner with a verb. They describe the way that we do the action of the verb. She's running. -> She's running slowly.

We usually form adverbs of manner from adjectives.

Add -ly to most adjectives.

When the adjective ends in -y, we remove the -/and

Adverbs of manner usually come after the verb, and often after any other words linked to the verb.
