the –ly ending.

usually changed to -y.
For example:

simple – simply
preferable – preferably
gentle – gently
reasonable – reasonably
terrible – terribly
•When the adjective ends in –le preceded by a vowel, we simply add –
ly to the adjective.
For example:

agile – agilely
sole – solely
Exception:

whole – wholly
Adjectives Ending in -ll
When the adjective ends in –ll, only –y is added.
For example:

dull – dully
full – fully
shrill – shrilly
Adjectives Ending in –ue
When the adjective ends in –ue, we omit the final –e and add –ly.
For example:

due – duly
true – truly
