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. These are also adverbs: well,
fast, hard, late, just, always, often, then, never, ever, already, outside, inside,
yesterday, today, tomorrow, soon, now, yet, still, sometimes, also, too, once,
again, even, very, quite, a bit, a little, much, rather, enough.

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.
