●the plural ‘s’ separates the stress from the first ‘a’ so can become a feminine definite article
RULES FOR ADVERBS
- add a preposition to the adj.
e.g. aparentemente-> al paracer
-add ‘con’ with a noun e.g.
rapidAmente-> con rapidez - to change into an adverb you take adj. change to fem. ending ‘a’ and add ‘mente’ to the end = adverb
present IRREGULARS: radical changing
- e.g. volver, the ‘stress’ is on the ‘o’
so becomes: vuelvo, vuelves, vuelve, volvemos, volveis, vuelven
(the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th CHANGE)
present IRREGULARS: 1st person irregulars
- e.g. conocer becomes conoZCo (only 1st person form changes
then the rest are: conoces, conoce, conocemos, conoceis, conocen

present IRREGULARS: ortographic changes
