ADVERBS

What are they and what do they do?

•An adverb is a word used to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

•An adverb tells how, when, where, why, how often, and how much

The 3 forms (similar to adjectives)

Positive adverbs describe something

-well, badly, fast, loudly, dramatically

The 3 forms (similar to adjectives)

Comparative adverbs compares two things -better, worse, faster, more loudly, less dramatically

The 3 forms (similar to adjectives)

Superlative adverbs compare three or more things -best, worst, fastest, most loudly, least dramatically

The 4 types

• Adverbs of time- tell when, how often, and how long -tomorrow, often, never

• Adverbs of place- tell where, to where, or from where -there, backward, outside

The 4 types

• Adverbs of manner- often end in –ly and tell how something is done -unkindly, gently, well

• Adverbs of degree- tell how much or how little -scarcely, entirely, generally

Some things to keep in mind

• Adverbs often end in ly, but not always

•Words like very, quite, and always modify other adverbs or adjectives

•Not all words that end in ly are adverbs ( i.e. lovely)
