Adverb phrases: forms
An adverb phrase consists of one or more words. The adverb is the head of the phrase and can appear alone or it can be modified by other words. Adverbs are one of the four major word classes, along with nouns, verbs and adjectives.
In the examples the adverb phrases are in bold. The other words that modify the adverb are underlined:
We usually go on holiday in August.
Time goes very quickly.
The day passed quickly enough.
This works really well for its size.
Luckily for us, the cost was not so high.
We kept the new money quite separately from what we’d already collected.
In general, these patterns are similar to adjective phrases.
An adverbial phrase is a group of words that refines the meaning of a verb, adjective, or adverb.
Similar to adverbs, adverbial phrases modify other words by explaining why, how, where, or when an action occurred.
When these elements are present, the group of words is considered an adverbial clause.
Adverb. now and then. (idiomatic) sometimes; occasionally; intermittently.
