Adverbially Speaking
Many adverbs are made by adding -ly to the adjective. Thus:
- slow + ly
slowly - real + ly really
- unwise + ly unwisely
If the adjective ends in -able or -ible, we drop the e, as in:
- possible - e + ly possibly
- horrible - e + ly horribly
- justifiable - e + ly justifiably
The most important exceptions to these rules are:
- whole wholly
- true truly
- due duly
- subtle subtly
