ADVERB

· An adverb is a part of speech

that describes or modifies a
verb, an adjective, another
adverb, clause, or sentence.

· An adverb can be placed

anywhere in a sentence.
· Adverbs answer the questions

"How?", "When?", "Where?",

"Why?", "In what way?", "How
much?", "How often?", "Under
what condition", "To what
degree?"
The easiest adverbs to
recognize are those that end in
-ly. Some adjectives end with
-ly also but remember that
adjectives can modify only
nouns and pronouns. Adverbs
modify everything else.
