Check Pablo's hint: "de modo"/"de forma"/"de manera" are always constructed with an adjective, just like you do with adjective+mente.

I'll just add that in Mexico it's believed that "de modo"/"de manera" are more educated expressions than "de forma". ![]()

You're welcome!
Efectivamente. (Mejor estar bien despierta, para hacer las cosas con eficacia.) (I'd tend to go with García Márquez, and avoid adverbs in "-mente", but I don't restrain too much on that either.) I'd say: "Puso los huevos en la caja con mucho cuidado" Or, "Los niños juegan armando mucho ruido" "Andas con rapidez a tu clase" In other words, while all these forms with "de modo/manera/forma/-mente" are all correct, I believe the current Spanish tends to avoid all of them in a colloquial register. (At least, that's my opinion...)

Well, on a "spontaneous" communication probably I'd say something like this,
2) Habló con cortesía con su maestro. Habló con su maestro educadamente. 3) Nos dijo la historia con [mucha] gravedad. Nos dijo la historia muy serio. Nos dijo la historia con seriedad. 5) Caminas a tu clase con rapidez. Vas a tu clase a toda velocidad. Andas a tu clase muy rápido.
