 Adverb:-
Basically, most adverbs tell
you how, where or when and
to what extend some thing is
done/happen. In other words,
they describe the manner,
place or time of an action.
 Commonly adverbs are formed
from adjectives. Some are below.

Adjectives Adverbs

Kind Kindly

Happy Happily
Wonderful Wonderfully

Loud Loudly
Sad Sadly
Beautiful Beautifully

Sweet Sweetly
 Many adverbs end with ly. You make
these adverbs by adding ly to adjectives .

Some adjectives end in ly too. For
Example:-
1.Sam was feeling very lonely.
2.She was wearing a lovely dress.
3.It was a very lively party

changes the meaning of a verb.
