Remember!
Наречия мы образуем от прилагательных при помощи окончания -lу:
slow — slowly.
Если прилагательное оканчивается на - у, то - у заменяется на - i и прибавляется окончание -lу. напр.:
lucky — luckily.
Некоторые наречия ничем не отличаются от прилагательных, напр.:
fast, late, hard, early.
Oт наречий мы образуем степени сравнения, добавляя more и the most.
slowly — more slowly — the most slowly.
Исключение — наречия, не отличающиеся от прилагательных, и несколько наречий с неправильными формами степеней сравнения: badly, well, far, little.
