A List of Adverbs

Список наречий

The list of adverbs in this material is intended for practicing spelling. The list includes adverbs frequently used in speech and writing, as well as less frequently used adverbs. The majority of the adverbs in the list are derivative adverbs formed with the help of the suffix LY.

Spelling examples in this material are divided into three main groups: (1) examples of simple, derivative and compound adverbs; (2) examples of how the suffix LY is added to final consonants and vowels; (3) examples of adverbs in which the suffix LY is added to main adjective suffixes. Typical examples of formation are given before each group of adverbs.

Formation, types, meanings and use of adverbs are described in Adverbs in the section Miscellany. The rules of adding suffixes are described in Adding Suffixes in the section Writing.

Список наречий в данном материале предназначен для тренировки написания. Список включает наречия, часто употребляемые в устной и письменной речи, а также менее часто употребляемые наречия. Большинство наречий в списке – производные наречия, образованные с помощью суффикса LY.

Примеры написания в данном материале разделены на три основные группы: (1) примеры простых, производных и сложных наречий; (2) примеры того, как суффикс LY прибавляется к конечным согласным и гласным; (3) примеры наречий, в которых суффикс LY прибавляется к основным суффиксам прилагательных. Типичные примеры образования даны перед каждой группой наречий.

Образование, типы, значения и употребление наречий описываются в статье "Adverbs" в разделе Miscellany. Правила прибавления суффиксов описываются в статье "Adding Suffixes" в разделе Writing.
