Spelling rules for adding -ly In most cases,- ly is simply added to the positive form of the adjective. For example:
Adjective bad complete surprising Adverb badly completely surprisingly

1. Adjectives ending in -ic When the adjective ends in -ic, the syllable -al is usually added before the -ly ending. For example:
Adjective dramatic scientific specific Adverb dramatically scientifically specifically

2. Adjectives ending in le When the adjective ends in -le preceded by a consonant, the final e is usually changed to y, to form the -ly ending. For example:
Adjective favorable humble Adverb favorably humbly

simple

simply

When the adjective ends in -le preceded by a vowel, in most cases, ly is simply added to the positive form of the adjective. For example:
Adjective agile sole Adverb agilely solely

However, in the case of the adjective whole, the final e is removed before the ending -ly is added:
Adjective whole Adverb wholly

3. Adjectives ending in -ll When the adjective ends in -ll, only y is added. For example:
Adjective dull full shrill Adverb dully fully shrilly

4. Adjectives ending in -ue When the adjective ends in -ue, the final e is usually omitted before the ending ly is added. For example:

Adjective due true

Adverb duly truly

5. Adjectives ending in -y When the adjective ends in y preceded by a consonant, the y is usually changed to i before the ending ly is added. For example:
Adjective busy easy happy Adverb busily easily happily

However, in the case of the adjectives shy and sly, -ly is simply added to the positive form of the adjective:
Adjective shy sly Adverb shyly slyly

When the adjective ends in -y preceded by a vowel, in most cases, -ly is simply added to the positive form of the adjective. For example:
