Sally runs faster than Lois.

An adverb is a word that adds more information about time, place, manner, degree or cause to a verb, adjective, adverb or phrase. There are many types of adverbs such as frequency, manner, location, time, etc.

Adverb of frequency answers the question how often?

Words such as always, often, rarely, seldom, etc. fall under this category.

Example sentence: I eat eggs very rarely.

Adverbs of degree

Adverbs of degree are words that tell us about the intensity of something. Words such as extremely, quite, enough, very, too, etc. fall under this category.

Example sentence

The scenery of Switzerland was very beautiful.

Note: 'Faster' has been used here because the comparison is between two persons.
