Creating descriptions with '-mente'
This word is made by taking the adjective 'fija' (fixed) and adding '-mente'. This suffix is the Spanish equivalent of '-ly' in English, turning a description into a word that tells you how an action is done.
Where to put it
In a sentence, you usually place this word immediately after the action verb it describes, such as 'mirar' (to look).
Using the wrong base
