SUFFIXES 4 - Making Adverbs with Endings

This is the last one, where Adverbs come out of "things" and "qualities."

1. Noun to Adverb: If we want to go home, we can travel homeward. Also, "referring to":
time + -wise = timewise
cost + -wise = costwise

2. Adjective to Adverb:
Take a "direction" and add ward. Up + ward = upward... or down + ward = downward.
some + -times = sometimes
east + -ward = eastward

3.
Sometimes the basic word changes:
easy + -ly = easily
simple + -ly = simply

There are so many words you can recognize and use now, you should never be without one!
