1 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-1 Point de départ Adverbs describe how, when, and where actions take place. They modify verbs, adjectives, and even other adverbs. You’ve already learned some adverbs such as bien, déjà, surtout, and très.

2 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-2 To form an adverb from an adjective that ends in a consonant, take the feminine singular form and add -ment. This ending is equivalent to the English -ly.

3 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-3 If the masculine singular form of an adjective ends in a vowel, just add -ment to the end.

4 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-4 To form an adverb from an adjective that ends in -ant or -ent in the masculine singular, replace the ending with -amment or -emment, respectively. Both endings are pronounced identically, like femme.

5 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-5 Some adverbs are irregular.

6 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-6 Although the adverb rapidement can be formed from the adjective rapide, you can also use the adverb vite to say fast/quickly. Note that when you use vite with a verb in the passé composé when meaning fast, the adverb needs to be placed after the past participle.

8 © and ® 2011 Vista Higher Learning, Inc.7B.1-8 Place an adverb that modifies an adjective or another adverb before the word it modifies. Place an adverb that modifies a verb immediately after the verb. In the passé composé, place short adverbs before the past participle.
