Formation of adverbs from adjectives

Many Spanish adverbs are formed by adding -mente to the feminine singular form of an adjective: rápida + mente = rápidamente (quickly). If the adjective ends in -e or is invariable, add -mente directly: fácil + mente = fácilmente (easily). Some adjectives can be used as adverbs without changing form: “Habla claro” (He speaks clearly).
