How to make an adverb out of an adjective

just add: -ly at the end

beautiful>>> beautifully

quick>>>> quickly

exceptions? of course

easy- easily

humble- humbly

early-early

lovely-lovely

besides this there are irregulars:

good - well

fast - fast

hard - hard

long - long

low - low

and watch out for these three. 

They change meaning when added ly at the end:

hard- hard/hardly = barely( nauwelijks, bijna niet)

He ran hard/he ran hardly

near - near / nearly = almost( bijna)
He was near that place/ he was nearly there

late - late / lately = recently

He arrived late (briefje dus)/ he arrived lately
