2. Adverbs many times are created by adding -ly to the end of an adjective.

Explanation

Adverbs are often formed by adding the suffix -ly to an adjective. This is a common rule in English grammar. By adding -ly to an adjective, it changes the word's function from describing a noun to modifying a verb, adjective, or another adverb. For example, the adjective "quick" becomes the adverb "quickly." Therefore, the statement "Adverbs many times are created by adding -ly to the end of an adjective" is true.
