The '-mente' Rule

In Spanish, the ending '-mente' is the equivalent of the English '-ly'. It is added to the feminine form of an adjective (fácil is an exception because it is the same for masculine and feminine).

Always Invariable

Since 'fácilmente' is an adverb, it always stays the same. It never changes to match a masculine or feminine noun, or a singular or plural verb.

Mixing Adjective and Adverb

Mistake:Hizo el ejercicio fácil.

Correction: Hizo el ejercicio fácilmente. (The adverb 'fácilmente' is needed to describe *how* he did the exercise, not the exercise itself.)
