Questions & Answers about La niña mira el pájaro atentamente.
How is the adverb atentamente formed?
Does adding -mente change the written accent of the word?
When you add -mente to an adjective, the new word keeps the written accent mark if the original adjective had one. Since atento does not have a written accent, atentamente does not get one either.
Why doesn't mira have a preposition after it to mean "looks at"?
Why is there no "personal a" before el pájaro?
The "personal a" is generally used before direct objects that are people, or sometimes specific pets you have a close emotional bond with. Since el pájaro is just a general animal here, it does not need the "personal a".
