Frequently Asked Questions

Why does 'fácilmente' have an accent mark if the stress shifts to the 'men' syllable?

This is a special rule for adverbs formed with '-mente'. They keep the written accent mark of the original adjective ('fácil'), even though the natural stress of the new, longer word falls on the '-men-' part. This helps you remember that the base word is 'fácil'.

Is 'fácilmente' the same as 'es fácil'?

No, they mean different things. 'Es fácil' (It is easy) uses the adjective 'fácil' to describe a thing. 'Fácilmente' (easily) uses the adverb to describe an action or verb. Example: 'El libro es fácil' (The book is easy) vs. 'Leo el libro fácilmente' (I read the book easily).
