Adverbs

✍️ Adverbs

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It often tells us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

📌 Types of Adverbs

• Adverbs of Manner: Describe how something happens.
  Example: She sings beautifully.
• Adverbs of Time: Indicate when something happens.
  Example: He arrived yesterday.
• Adverbs of Place: Indicate where something happens.
  Example: They looked everywhere.
• Adverbs of Frequency: Tell how often something happens.
  Example: She always comes on time.
• Adverbs of Degree: Tell the intensity or degree of an action, adjective, or another adverb.
  Example: It was very cold.

📝 Placement of Adverbs

Adverbs are often placed:

• Before the main verb: She quickly finished her work.
• After the verb: He speaks softly.
• At the beginning or end of a sentence (for time/frequency): Sometimes we go hiking.

🎯 Common Mistake

Don’t confuse adjectives with adverbs. Adverbs often end in -ly, but not always!

Incorrect: She runs quick.
Correct: She runs quickly.
