Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often tell how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.
Adverbs often end in “-ly,” but not always. Words like soon, here, and well are also adverbs.
Adverbs give more detail to a sentence. They can change the meaning by showing how, when, or where an action happens.
When you add an adverb, the sentence becomes more specific and descriptive.
Adverbs can be grouped into categories based on the information they give.
Knowing the type of adverb helps you understand its role in a sentence.
Adverbs can appear at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence, depending on what they describe.
Placement of an adverb can change the focus or meaning of the sentence.
Adverbs make your writing stronger by adding detail and variety. Use them carefully so sentences remain clear.
Too many adverbs can make writing wordy. Use them when they add meaning that is not already clear.
