FORMATION

Many adverbs are made from an adjective + ly. huge - hugely social - socially possible - possible ( le-ly) easy - easily ( y- ily) But adverbs do not always have this ending.

USE
An adverb tells us more about the verb. E.g. She always drives carefully

We can use adverbs before adjectives, other adverbs and past participles. E.g. The film was extremely good. You did it incredibly quickly.

Adverbs can be placed: at the beginning of a sentence. E.g. Normally I go to school by bus.

close to the verb E.g. I have always liked her

at the end of a sentence E.g. She did her homework very quickly.
