Adverbs of manner express how something happens. In most cases for

adverbs of manner, you can take an adjective and simply add -ly to form an
adverb. Instead of describing a noun, an adverb describes or modifies a verb.

Adverbs of manner tell us the way or how to do something. However,

not all adverbs end with “-ly”. For example, the words ‘fast’ and ‘well’
describe verbs but do not end in “-ly”.
 Example
Adverbs of Manner

• They dress elegantly.

•Some elderly people drive slowly.
•She works very hard.
•Riska does not speak clearly; I can’t understand her.
•Try to do it carefully so we don’t have to redo it.
•My brother drives very fast and aggressively.

Adverb Of Place
Explanation
Adverbs of Place describe “where” an action
takes place. In addition, we usually find
adverbs of place after the main verb.
For example, “indoors”, “next week” and
“still” all describe where something happens.
Again, we often find these adverbs of place
after a verb in a sentence.
Examples
1. If you want to see the hot air balloon,
you will have to go outside. (Outside)
2. When she entered the classroom, she
sat down. (Down)
3. I searched everywhere but I couldn’t
find him. (Everywhere)
4. He walks downstairs to meet his
father. (Downstairs)
 A d v e r b o f T i m e
What is an adverb of time? Adverbs that change or qualify the meaning of a
sentence by telling us when things happen are defined as adverbs of time.
An adverb of time is just what you might expect it to be – a word that
describes when, for how long, or how often a certain action happened.
