Adverbs

Most adverbs are formed from an adjective:
easy (-y) + ily        = easily            
complete + ly       = completely  
automatic + ally   = automatically      
horrible (-le) + ly  = horribly  
happy(-y) + ily     = happily        
nice + ly               = nicely          
romantic  + ally    = romantically        
simple   (-le) + ly  = simply


Some adverbs have the same form as an adjective:
close, daily, early, fast, hard, high, right

Adjective  
Susan is fast          (tells the way she is)           fast is an adjective

Adverb      
Susan runs fast       (tells the way she runs)       fast is an adverb

Adverbs of frequency

If the sentence has one verb (e.g. no auxiliary verb) put the adverb of frequency  in the middle of the sentence after the subject and before the verb.

Example: Tom usually goes to work by car.

Come after the verb 'be':

Example: I am never late for work.

If the sentence has more than one verb (e.g. auxiliary verb), put the adverb of frequency before the main verb.

Examples: I can never remember anything!

Adverbs of manner

It cannot be put between a verb and its direct object. The adverb must be placed either before the verb or at the end of the clause.
