Portuguese Adverbs of Manner

Portuguese Adverbs

In English we say for example, "Get yourself ready, quickly" or - "He explained the rules to me, rudely." These are called Adverbs of Manner because they express the manner in which something happened. Just as with other Portuguese Adverbs these always add emphasis and emotion.

They're usually attached to the end of a sentence.

Like this:

Olha ele!

Ele está correndo rápido. ➜ He's running quickly.

Ele ganhou a corrida?
Ele vai ganhar facilmente. ➜ He won easily.
