The rules of adverb-agreement?
In general, adverbs don't have gender or number agreements with nouns. However, they need to agree in form with corresponding adjectives when they modify an adjective. For example, "El vestido es muy bonito" (The dress is very pretty), where "muy" is agreeing with the feminine form of "bonito."
What is the difference between former and formerly?
"Former" is an adjective that describes someone or something that previously held a particular position or status. "Formerly" is an adverb that indicates that something was true in the past but is no longer the case.

The adjective lazy has the adverb form lazily.
For most adjectives that end in Y, the Y becomes an i before you add -LY.
No, "spoke" is not an adverb. It is the past tense of the verb "speak." Adverbs typically describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
No, the word 'is' is a verb; the third person singular present of the verb be.

How do you use thus in a conjunctive adverb sentence?
[full sentence]; thus, [full sentence].
The meaning of thus shows cause/effect, like so, so you would probably use it in a sentence like you would so. The difference is that thus, being a conjunctive adverb, needs a semicolon before and a comma after when it comes in the middle of a sentence.
It was raining, so I took an umbrella. (So is a coordinating conjunction, so it only needs a comma before it.)
It was raining; thus, I took an umbrella. (Thus is a conjunctive adverb; thus, it needs a semicolon and a comma to join the two sentences.)
By is a preposition if followed by a noun or pronoun; by is an adverb when not followed by a noun or pronoun. Examples:
