Transforming adjectives into adverbs often involves adding the suffix "-ly" to the adjective. However, keep in mind that not all adverbs end in "-ly," and there are other ways adverbs are formed. Here's a list of adverbs formed from adjectives: Adjective to Adverb:

Happy → Happily: Adjective: She looked happy. Adverb: She smiled happily.

Quick → Quickly: Adjective: He is a quick learner. Adverb: He learns quickly.

Beautiful → Beautifully: Adjective: The painting is beautiful. Adverb: She painted it beautifully.

Intelligent → Intelligently: Adjective: He is an intelligent student. Adverb: He answered the question intelligently.

Cold → Coldly: Adjective: The wind was cold. Adverb: She spoke coldly.

Energetic → Energetically: Adjective: The children were energetic. Adverb: They played energetically.

Ancient → Anciently: Adjective: The artifact is ancient. Adverb: It was created anciently.

Tall → Tallly (uncommon, "tall" doesn't commonly transform into an adverb): Adjective: The tree is tall. Adverb: The tower stands tallly. (Note: Other adverbs, like "high," are often used in these cases.)

Remember that not all adverbs follow the "-ly" pattern. Some adverbs are the same as their adjective forms (e.g., fast, hard), and others undergo a different transformation (e.g., good → well, fast → fast). Additionally, irregular adverbs exist, so it's crucial to familiarize yourself with common usage.
