 Definition
Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They
provide information about the manner, degree, frequency, or time of an
action or describe the intensity of an adjective. Examples include
"quickly," "very," and "often."
Adverbs play a crucial role in language by adding precision and detail to
expressions. They answer questions such as "how," "when," "where," or "to
what extent." Adverbs can range from those indicating time (e.g., "soon,"
"now") to manner (e.g., "carefully," "quickly"), frequency (e.g., "always,"
"sometimes"), or degree (e.g., "very," "too"). Their versatility allows them to
contribute nuance and specificity to sentences, making communication
more precise and vivid.
 Degree of the
adverbs
Adverbs are an essential part of speech that modify or describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They
provide information about the manner, time, place, or degree of an action or state. Adverbs can also be
compared using degrees of comparison, similar to adjectives.
The positive degree is the basic form of the adverb, used to simply describe an action or state. For example,
the adverb "quickly" is in its positive degree when used in a sentence like "She ran quickly to catch the bus."
The comparative degree is used to compare two actions or states, indicating that one is done to a greater
extent than the other. To form the comparative degree of most adverbs, you add "more" before the adverb.
For example, the adverb "quickly" becomes "more quickly" in the comparative degree."She ran more quickly
than her friend."
The superlative degree is used to compare three or more actions or states, indicating that one is done to
the greatest extent. To form the superlative degree of most adverbs, you add "most" before the adverb. For
example, the adverb "quickly" becomes "most quickly" in the superlative degree."She ran most quickly out of
all the runners in the race."
It's important to note that some adverbs have irregular forms in their comparative and superlative degrees.
For example, the adverb "well" has the comparative form "better" and the superlative form "best." Another
example is the adverb "badly," which has the comparative form "worse" and the superlative form "worst."
 Classification
1) Adverbs of manner are words that describe how an action is performed or the way in which something
happens. These adverbs provide additional details about the manner or style in which a verb is carried out.
Examples include adverbs like quickly, smoothly, happily, and carefully. They answer the question "How?" in
relation to an action.
2) Adverbs of place are words that provide information about the location or direction of an action or the
position of an object. These adverbs help specify where the action is happening or where the subject is in
relation to something else. Examples of adverbs of place include words like here, there, nearby, and everywhere.
They answer the question "Where?" in the context of an action or situation.
3) Adverbs of frequency indicate how often an action occurs. These adverbs provide information about the
regularity or repetition of an action. Examples include words like always, often, rarely, and never. They answer
the question "How often?" in relation to the frequency of an action or event.
5) Adverbs of degree, measure, and quantity modify adjectives, verbs, or other adverbs to indicate the extent,
intensity, or amount of an action or quality. They provide additional information about the degree or extent of
something. Examples include words like very, too, almost, quite, much, and so. These adverbs answer questions
such as "To what extent?" or "How much?" in the context of an action or description.
6) Adverbs of time are words that provide information about when an action takes place. These adverbs
specify the timing, duration, or frequency of an event. Examples include words like yesterday, now, soon, and
always. Adverbs of time help answer questions such as "When?" or "How often?" in relation to a particular action
or situation.
