Introduction
Definition
- An adverb tells us how, when and where an action takes place. Adverbs can modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
- Some adverbs are made by adding -ly to the end of an adjective, for example, briskly, courageously, magically, etc.
- Many adverbs can be identified because of the -ly, but there are lots of exceptions.
Adverbs of...
Manners
Adverbs of manner tell you in what manner or ‘how’ something happened. They often appear after the verb…
For example: The music played loudly and the boy danced energetically.
But could also be placed at the beginning of a sentence or before the verb…
For example: Silently, the children watched as the bear steadily moved past them
Degree
Adverbs of degree tell you to what degree or ‘how much’ something happened. They can modify verbs…
For example: He served the potatoes generously, but offered the sprouts sparingly.
Or adjectives…
For example: She was significantly taller than him but he was happy enough.
Or even other adverbs…
For example: The dog ate very quickly, while the cat ate much too slowly.
Place
Adverbs of place tell you the place ‘where’ something happened. They are normally used to modify verbs and come after the main verb in the sentence…
For example: There were strangers everywhere, so he played nearby.
Or after the object in the sentence…
For example: She put the phone down and went to meet her friend there.
Time
Adverbs of time tell you at what time or ‘when’ something happened. They are usually used to modify verbs and are placed at the end of the sentence…
For example: My flight arrives tomorrow; let’s talk about it then.
They could also tell you how often…
For example: The bus comes hourly, so the woman goes into town regularly.
An exception is the adverb still, which comes before the main verb in a sentence…
For example: He still hadn’t left the house, so she was still waiting for him at half past 7.
