    Les adverbes en « ment »

    Such adverbs are derived from adjectives. If the adjective is masculine and ends with a vowel, we simply add “–ment” to such an adjective to obtain the adverb. Example: 1) joli – joliment, 2) rapide – rapidement.

    If the masculine form of the adjective does not end with a vowel, that adjective is transformed into the feminine and then “–ment” is affixed in order to obtain the adverbe. Example: heureux – heureuse – heureusement.

    If the adjective ends in “–ant”, we obtain the adverb by affixing “–amment”.
    Example: 1) élégant – élégamment, 2) courant – couramment, 3) bruyant – bruyamment.
    If the adjective ends in “–ent”, we obtain the adverb by affixing “– emment”.
    Example: 1) prudent – prudemment, 2) évident – évidemment
