Heya Dear Friend !!!


Adverbs describe verbs and modify adjectives and other adverbs. Adverbs, unlike adjectives, do not modify nouns. Adverbs  can also modify phrases, clauses, and sentences. Adverbs answer one of the following questions: When? Where? Why? How?  Under what conditions? and To what extent?



Example: The teacher had to speak loudly to be heard over the children. (Loudly modifies the verb speak.)

The children were really bad during the movie. (Really modifies the adjective bad.)





TYPES OF ADVERBS

Adverbs of Time

An adverb of time answers the question When? Adverbs of time include: after, always, before, during, early, later,  never, now, often, rarely, recently, sometimes, soon, then, today, tomorrow, usually, yesterday, etc.

Example: John will attend the soccer game after he finishes his homework. (After answers the question: When  will John attend the soccer game?)

Adverbs of Manner

An adverb of manner answers the question How? Adverbs of manner include: badly, beautifully, better, bravely,  cheerfully, fast, hard, quickly, slowly, inadequately, healthy, well, etc.

Example: Sarah slowly walked over the rocky beach. (Slowly answers the question: How did Sarah walk?)


Adverbs of Place

An adverb of place answers the question Where? Adverbs of place include: above, away, below, down, here, inside,  near, outside, there, up, etc.

Example: Susan placed the boxes above the file cabinet. (Above answers the question: Where did Susan place  the boxes?)

Adverbs of Degree

An adverb of degree answers the question How much? It describes the strength and intensity at which something  happens. Adverbs of degree include: almost, completely, enough, entirely, extremely, hardly, just, little, much, nearly,  quite, rather, very, too, etc.

Example: John worked very hard to complete his part of the project. (Very answers the question: How hard  did John work?)


Adverbs of Frequency

An adverb of frequency answers the question How often? Adverbs of frequency include: always, never, usually,  frequently, occasionally, rarely, seldom, sometimes, etc.

Example: Bob always forgets to check his email before class begins. (Before answers the question: How often  does Bob forget to check his email?)
