Question

(a)the stranger nodded hard. (b) He was carefully waving his spear. (pick out the adverb from the above services )​

Answer 1

Hard and carefully are the adverbs here.

What is an adverb?

• In English Grammar, we can describe an adverb as a part of speech that describes a verb.
• In the sentences above, 'nodded' is a verb and 'hard' is describing nodded, hence it is an adverb. In the second sentence, 'waving' is the verb and 'carefully' is describing it, hence carefully is the adverb.
