What adverbs that end in ed?

There aren't many adverbs that end in "-ed". Here's why:

* Adverbs typically describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They answer questions like "how?", "when?", "where?", "to what extent?"

* The "-ed" ending is usually associated with past participles of verbs. These past participles can sometimes act as adjectives (e.g., "the broken window") but not typically as adverbs.

However, there are a few exceptions where words ending in "-ed" can function as adverbs:

* "Aforementioned" - meaning "mentioned previously"

* "Aforethought" - meaning "premeditated"

* "Awed" - meaning "with awe"

* "Blessed" - meaning "with blessings"

* "Crushed" - meaning "completely" (informal)

* "Doomed" - meaning "unavoidably" (informal)

* "Frightened" - meaning "with fear"

* "Interested" - meaning "with interest"

* "Naked" - meaning "completely" (informal)

* "Shocked" - meaning "with shock"

* "Starved" - meaning "extremely" (informal)

* "Tired" - meaning "with weariness"

Important Note: These words ending in "-ed" are often used as adjectives. They become adverbs when they describe a verb or another adverb.

For example:

* Adjective: "He had a tired look."

* Adverb: "He walked tiredly home."

It's important to be aware of the context in which these words are used to determine their function.
