ADVERB!

Hello!

Today, I want to share about adverb.

What is an Adverb?

An adverb is a word that tells us more about a verb. It "qualifies" or "modifies" a verb (The man ran quickly). In the following examples, the adverb is in red and the verb that it modifies is in italics in purple.

• • 
    
  
  

• John speaks loudly. (How does John speak?)

• Afterwards she smoked a cigarette. (When did she smoke?)

• Mary lives locally. (Where does Mary live?)

But adverbs can also modify adjectives (Tara is really beautiful), or even other adverbs (It works verywell). Look at these examples:

• 
  

• 1) Modify an adjective:\

•    - He is really handsome. (How handsome is he?)

•   
• -
• That was extremely kind of you

• 
  

• 2) Modify another adverb:

•    - She drives incredibly slowly. (How slowly does she    drive?)

•   
• -
• He drives extremely fast.

Note: 

Adverbs have other functions too. They can:

• Modify a whole sentence: Obviously, I can't know everything.
• Modify a prepositional phrase: It's immediately inside the door.
