Forming adverbs from adjectives ending in a vowel

Question

For the adjective for beautiful,masc beau,and fem belle,given the guidance in the study notes the adverb is formed from the masc which ends in a vowel ( beau) ,so I assume it's beaucoup. Any more common adjectives which don't add -ment to the masculine adjective?

Hi John, 
Strictly speaking the adverb from the adjectives beau/belle is 
bellement 
However, it is quite rare and relatively unused in everyday speak.
We will use instead:
De belle manière - De façon belle - Joliment - Magnifiquement - Admirablement
We could also use 'bien' as in certain cases like -
Il chante bellement  ----> il chante bien ( he is a good singer) 
Hope this helps!
