Adverbs: Modify Verbs, Adjectives, and Other Adverbs

Adverbs provide more information about verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often describe how, when, where, or to what degree an action occurs. For example, in the sentence “She runs quickly”, “quickly” is the adverb that tells how she runs. Adverbs can also modify adjectives (e.g., “very tall”) or other adverbs (e.g., “quite slowly”). They are a key part of making sentences more detailed and dynamic.

Learning to use adverbs correctly enhances your ability to express actions, qualities, and intensities in both speech and writing.
