How it's built
This word is made by taking the female version of the adjective 'amplia' (wide) and adding '-mente' (the Spanish equivalent of '-ly').
Where to put it
You usually place 'ampliamente' right after the action word (verb) it describes, or before a describing word (adjective) like 'conocido' (known).
Don't use 'amplio' for actions
Mistake: “El tema fue discutido amplio.”
Correction: El tema fue discutido ampliamente. Use the '-mente' version when describing HOW something was done, not WHAT something is like.
