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.)
