Forming '-mente' Adverbs
In Spanish, you turn an adjective into an adverb (a word that modifies a verb or another adjective) by taking the feminine form of the adjective ('increíble') and adding '-mente'.
❌ Common Pitfalls
Misplaced Adverb
Mistake: "Increíblemente es un buen libro."
Correction: Es un libro increíblemente bueno. ('Increíblemente' usually goes before the adjective it modifies or after the verb it modifies.)
