An adverb is a word that describes more about a verb, an adjective or another adverb. Adverbs have a strong connection with adjectives. Adjectives and adverbs are usually based on the same word. Adverbs often have the form of an adjective + ly. For example he was calm telling us what had happened (he spoke calmly of what had happened).
A) Adverbs ending in ly are usually adverbs of manner and degree. For example slowly, partly, etc.
B) Adverbs formed from adjectives ending in l have double l. for example hopeful>hopefully, beautiful>beautifully, careful>carefully, etc.

D) Adverbs ending in a consonant e keep the e. For example definite>definitely, fortunate>fortunately, etc.
