What are examples of adverb derivative?

It seems you might be asking about adverbial derivatives, which are words formed from other parts of speech, usually adjectives or nouns, to function as adverbs.

Here are some examples of adverbial derivatives and how they're formed:

From Adjectives:

* Adjective + -ly:

* Slow (adjective) → slowly (adverb)

* Quick (adjective) → quickly (adverb)

* Happy (adjective) → happily (adverb)

* Careful (adjective) → carefully (adverb)

* Adjective + -wise:

* Clock (adjective) → clockwise (adverb)

* Counter (adjective) → counterclockwise (adverb)

* Adjective + -ward(s):

* Down (adjective) → downward(s) (adverb)

* Up (adjective) → upward(s) (adverb)

* Home (adjective) → homeward(s) (adverb)

From Nouns:

* Noun + -wise:

* Time (noun) → timewise (adverb)

* Money (noun) → moneywise (adverb)

* Cost (noun) → costwise (adverb)

* Noun + -ward(s):

* Sea (noun) → seaward(s) (adverb)

* Earth (noun) → earthward(s) (adverb)

* Heaven (noun) → heavenward(s) (adverb)

Other Examples:

* Directly (from "direct")

* Suddenly (from "sudden")

* Frankly (from "frank")

* Truly (from "true")

* Nicely (from "nice")

Important Notes:

* Not all adverbs are formed from other words. Some are simple words like "now", "then", "here", "there", etc.

* The -ly suffix is the most common way to form adverbs, but not all adjectives form adverbs with -ly.
