Adverbs of Degree (Frequency/ Quantity)
These answer the question “How much?”, “To what extent?”, “To what degree?”

Examples:
very, quite, so, too, completely, scarcely, rather, almost, entirely, less, thoroughly,
even, only, hardly

Note: These adverbs can show both intensity of degree (very, quite) as well as
emphasis(even, only).

Sentence examples:
1. The movie was quite interesting.
2. He didn't work hard enough to pass the exam.
3. Jack's boss praised him for working very quickly.
Adverbs of Manner, Means
These answer the questions “how?” “In what way/manner?”

Example: surely, better, easily, well, quietly, loudly, politely,

badly, awkwardly

Sentence examples:
1. He ate the chocolate cake greedily.
2. James coughed loudly to attract her
attention.
3. He waited patiently for his mother to
arrive.
 Sentence Adverbs
There is not an important part of the sentence structure; they often have a connective
role. They often convey the speaker's comment on the content of what he is saying. A
sentence adverb is a word that modifies a sentence as a whole or an entire clause
within a sentence.

Example: fortunately, actually, admittedly, certainly, indeed, naturally, surely, perhaps,

in fact, really, hopefully, luckily, surprisingly

Example sentence:
1. "Apparently there is nothing that cannot happen today.“
2. Unfortunately, the motor exploded.
