How to add to verbs/ Module 13
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Most adverbs are formed by adding -ment. | lent > lente > lentement/actif > active > activement/sérieux > sérieuse >sérieusement |
| If a masculine form of the adjective ends in a vowel, add -ment to the feminine form. | probable > probablement/vrai > vraiment |
| If the masculine ends in -ent or -ant, drop the -nt and add -mment. | constant > constamment/évident > évidemment |
| Adverbs in -ment usually follow the verb. | Il parle couramment le chinois./Elle va parler franchement à son médecin. |
| When adverb modifies the entire sentence, it may be placed at the beginning or end. | Heurusement l'avion est arrivé à l'heure./Il n'en était pas content apparement. |
