The '-mente' Trick

Just like English adds '-ly' to words (enormous → enormously), Spanish adds '-mente' to the end of an adjective to describe how an action is done.

Sentence Placement

In Spanish, these 'how-words' usually come right after the action verb. For example, say 'Mejoró enormemente' (It improved enormously) rather than putting it before the verb.

Don't Split the Team

Mistake:Ha enormemente mejorado.

Correction: Ha mejorado enormemente. In Spanish, we try not to put words between the helper verb 'ha' and the action verb.

Using 'Muy' with Adverbs

Mistake:Es muy enormemente.

Correction: Es enorme. 'Enormemente' already means 'very much,' so adding 'muy' is unnecessary and sounds repetitive.
