An adverb is a part of speech that typically answers questions about how, when, where, why, or to what extent something is done. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, other adverbs, or entire sentences. Here are some common examples of adverbs:
How: quickly, slowly, carefully
When: now, then, soon
Where: here, there, everywhere
Why: because, therefore, unfortunately
To what extent: very, too, enough
Adverbs can be formed in several ways, including:
Adding suffixes (e.g., -ly to adjectives, -ly to verbs to form past participles, -ly to nouns to form adjectives)
Using separate words (e.g., "always," "never," "often")
Using prepositional phrases (e.g., "in the morning," "by accident")
Here are a few examples of adverbs in sentences:
She sings beautifully.
He arrived late.
I walked quickly to the store.
They are extremely happy.
She studied hard because she wanted to pass the exam.
