2. Discussion
Words that answer the question “How?” are called adverbs of manner. It tells us the way
or how something is done. Adverbs of manner are usually adjectives that end with –ly.

Adjective + ly = adverb
Beautiful + ly = beautifully
Soft + ly = softly

Examples:
Ana plays piano beautifully. (Ask: How did Ana play piano?) beautifully
Ana plays piano softly. (How did Ana play piano?) softly

How do we call the words beautifully, softly, and terribly? (adverbs) Why? (because they
tell how something is done)
