Form:
Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to an adjective
bold / boldly
solid / solidly
If the adjective already ends in -y, the -y usually
changes to -i.
heavy / heavily
unnecessary / unnecessarily

There are, however, many common adverbs that do not end

in -ly
For example again, also, just, never, often, soon, today, too,
 very, and well.
