Abstraction What are adverbs? What do they modify?

(10 min) There are 5 kinds of Adverb: Adverb of Time, Adverb of Place,
Adverb of Degree, Adverb of Manner, and Adverb of Frequency
and today we will discuss Adverb of Manner and Adverb of
Frequency
1. What is an adverb of manner? •An adverb of manner is a
word that modifies a verb, an adjective and another
adverb. It tells how an action is done. Generally, adverbs
of manner make use of –ly that is added to an adjective.

Rules:

•If an adjective ends in l, keep the l and add –ly.

examples:
casual – casually global – globally

•If the adjective ends in y with a consonant before it,

change y to i and add –ly.

examples:

busy – busily ready – readily easy- easily

 However, not all -ly words are adverbs and not all adverbs
have -ly at the end. Here is a list of adverbs that do NOT
have –ly

Hard means difficult.

Hardly is NOT the adverb of hard.

Hardly means very little.

Therefore,

I worked hard and I hardly worked are opposites! The first

sentence means that you worked a lot, whereas the
second sentence means you worked only a little

Now, the question is where do you put them? There are

many exceptions in English grammar, but the best way to
explain the rules about where to put the adverb is to
follow the suggestions below.

1. If the verb you are modifying or describing is the last

word in the sentence, put the adverb at the end of the
sentence.

Example: The sun rises.

If you want to add the adverb "slowly," look at the above

sentence. The last word is rises. Therefore, put "slowly" at
the end.

The sun rises slowly.

There are some verbs which, although at the end of the

sentence, can still have an adverb in front of it.

Example: The sun slowly rises.

Some verbs only allow an adverb after it when the verb is

at the end of the sentence, but others are best in front of
the verb.

2. If the verb you are modifying or describing is NOT the

last word in the sentence, put the adverb directly before
the verb, at the end of the sentence, or at the end of the
clause with the verb.

Example: Rebecca leaves the house.

If you want to add the adverb "quickly," look at the

following sentence. The verb (leaves) is in the middle of
the sentence. Hence, you have two ways of writing this
sentence:

Rebecca quickly leaves the house.

 Rebecca leaves the house quickly.

**The best way to determine if the adverb is too far away

from the verb is too see if the verb is in the last clause or
phrase of the sentence (this rule is NOT 100%). In
addition, if the verb is more than 5 or six words from the
end of the sentence, it is probably a good idea NOT to put
the adverb at the end. When in doubt, just put the adverb
in front of the verb.

2. What is an adverb of frequency? An adverb of frequency

tells how often an action is done.

Examples:

Always never usually frequently regularly rarely

She brushes her teeth regularly

She takes a bath always.

Classify the following adverbs by doing the following activity by

Application group.
(10 min)
Group 1 – Sing it

Group 2 – Draw it

Group 3 – Act it

Always thoroughly quickly gently cheerfully

smoothly seldom orderly after never
gracefully occasionally rarely already daily
