Adverbs
The Adverbs hub has over 440 Latin adverbs of three kinds:
- Derived: built from an adjective. Adjectives of the 1st/2nd declension take -ē (longus → longē, pulcher → pulchrē). 3rd-declension adjectives take -iter (fortis → fortiter). Stems ending in -nt- take -nter (prūdēns → prūdenter). Over 300 adverbs are of this kind.
- Irregular: built from an adjective, but not by the rule: bene, male, magnopere, multum, paulum.
- Lexical: not built from an adjective. These include place words (hīc, ibi), time words (nunc, semper, crās), degree words (valdē, paene) and connecting words (etiam, autem). There are over 100.
The hub has these screens:
- Select groups (Practice) — opens Select adverb groups: tick the kinds you want. Tap ⓘ on a kind for an explanation and the adverbs of that kind.
- Adverb grammar (Theory): cards for Regular adverbs (the -ē / -iter / -nter rules), Irregular adverbs, Comparison (fortius, fortissimē; bene → melius → optimē) and Adverbs of their own.
- Reference (Study) — opens Adverb reference: the selected adverbs, each marked with its kind. The detail screen for a derived adverb shows the adjective it comes from.
- Meaning (Practice) — opens Adverb meaning: flashcards for the meaning of each adverb.
There is no form drill for adverbs. Once you know the rule, derived adverbs are predictable, so the drill tests meaning only.
