Questions & Answers about Nous gagnons facilement le match.
How is the adverb facilement formed?
To make an adverb of manner in French, you usually take the feminine form of an adjective and add -ment (just like adding -ly in English). The adjective for easy is facile. Because facile already ends in an e in its masculine form, the feminine form is exactly the same. We simply add -ment to get facilement (easily).
Why is facilement placed right after the verb instead of at the end of the sentence?
Could Nous gagnons also mean We are winning?
