Adverbs of AFFIRMATION
and NEGATION
Fourth Quarter: Lesson III
 What is an ADVERB?
 An adverb is a word used to modify a verb, an
adjective, or another adverb. For example:

She swims quickly.
(Here, the adverb quickly modifies the verb swims.)
She is an extremely quick swimmer.
(Here, the adverb extremely modifies the
adjective quick.)
She swims extremely quickly.
(Here, the adverb extremely modifies the
adverb quickly.)
 Types of Adverb
When an adverb modifies a verb, it
usually tells us how, when, where, how
often, and how much the action is
performed. Here are some examples of
adverbs modifying verbs:
• How: He ran quickly.
• When: He ran yesterday.
• Where: He ran here.
• How often: He ran daily.
• How much: He ran fastest.
 Types of Adverb
In the examples above, every adverb
is a single word, but an adverb can
be made up of more than one word.
For example:
• How: He ran at 10 miles per hour.
• When: He ran when the police arrived.
• Where: He ran to the shops.
• How often: He ran every day.
• How much: He ran quicker than me.
