What is an adverb?
It modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It is used to say something more about a verb, and it almost always answers the questions: how, when, where, how often and in what way?
Examples:
“Maria speaks quietly.” (The adverb “quietly” modifies the verb “speaks”)
“Paul is really handsome.” (The adverb “really” modifies the adjective “handsome”)
“Yumi is working too slowly. (The adverb “too” modifies the adverb “slowly”)
Now let us play a game to see how many you get right!
