More on Adverbs
Adverbs add information about manner, quantity, frequency, time or place.
The rule on adverbs ending in -mente applies to adverbs formed from adjectives. However, there are several adverbs that are either irregular in formation (bien - well, the adverbial form of good) or are not based on adjectives in the first place (mañana - tomorrow). Please carefully study the list in the image below for common adverbs that are irregular or not formed from adjectives.
| Manner | Quantity | Frequency | Time | Place |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bien - well mal - poorly mejor - better peor - worse muy mal - very bad regular - average |
mucho - a lot poco - few, a little poquito - a little bit muy - very bastante - enough, quite demasiado - too much casi - almost |
a veces - sometimes frecuentemente - often siempre - always nunca - never a menudo - often diariamente - daily semanalmente - weekly |
hoy - today mañana - tomorrow ayer - yesterday ahora - now temprano - soon tarde - late después - after |
detrás - behind debajo - under arriba - on top aqui - here allí - there allá - over there enfrente - in front cerca - close lejos - far |
