 WHAT IS AN ADVERB?

 An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (“he sings loudly”), an

adjective (“very tall”), another adverb (“ended too quickly”), or even a whole
sentence (“Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella.”). Adverbs often end in -ly, but
some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.
 ADVERB EXAMPLES

 Adverbs are easy to recognize because

they usually end in –ly, but not always.
Some of the most common adverb
examples include:
 really, very
 well, badly
 today, yesterday, everyday, etc.
 Adverbs often modify verbs. This means that they describe the way an action is
ADVERBS AND VERBS happening.
Examples: Juan sings loudly in the shower.
My cat waits impatiently for his food.
ADVERBS AND ADJECTIVES

 Adverbs can also modify adjectives. An

adverb modifying an adjective generally
adds a degree of intensity or some other
kind of qualification to the adjective.
 Examples:
 The lake is quite beautiful.
 This book is more interesting than the
last one.
 ADVERBS AND OTHER ADVERBS

 You can use an adverb to describe

another adverb. In the following sentence,
the adverb almost is modifying the adverb
always (and they’re both modifying the
adjective right):
 Examples:
 The weather report is almost always right.
 In fact, if you wanted to, you could use
several adverbs to modify another adverb.
 Huan sings rather enormously too loudly.
