Adverbs in Spanish are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, providing more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. Most Spanish adverbs are formed by adding -mente to the feminine form of an adjective (e.g., rápido → rápidamente).
Common types of adverbs include those of manner (cómo - rápidamente), time (cuándo - hoy, ahora), place (dónde - aquí, allí), and degree (cuánto - muy, poco).
Adverbs typically follow the verb they modify, but they can also appear at the beginning or end of a sentence for emphasis. Understanding adverbs and their placement is key to Spanish fluency.
