    Lesson 4- Adverbs

    ( 4) ADVERBS
    An adverb adds more to the meaning of a verb, an adjective or another
    adverb.
    .I called you last night. (called=verb; last night=adverb)
    Your dress is very beautiful. (beautiful=adjective; very=adverb)
    The rain stopped quite suddenly. (suddenly=adverb; quite=adverb)
    Types of Adverbs
    Adverb of Time This shows when an action or something is done or happens. It
    answers the question When? It is either placed at the beginning or at the end of a
    sentence.
    Example: I phoned you yesterday. / I saw her walking along the river last week.
    Adverb of Place This shows where an action or something is done or happens.
    It answers the question Where? It is placed after the verb.
    Example: I live here. / He fell down.
    Adverb of Manner This shows how an action or something is done. It answers
    the question How? It is usually placed just after the verb.
    Example: She sleeps soundly. / He drives quickly.
    Adverb of Degree or Quantity This answers the questions, To what degree?
    or How much? It is usually placed before the adjective and the adverb.
    Example: It is too dark for us to see anything. / Last night it rained very heavily..
    Adverb of Frequency This answers the question How often?
    Example: He will never have finished in time. / We always go to school by
    bus.
    Affirmative Adverb (yes) and Adverb of negation (No)
    Example: yes, surely, certainly, indeed, by all means, no, not at all, by no
    means.
    Interrogative Adverb (Question) For example: When? Where? How? Why?
    How much/often?
    Relative Adverb: when, where, how, why These words are the same in form as
    Interrogative Adverbs; but they are not questions.
    Example: The time when he arrived. / The scene where the accident occurred. / He
    knows how to do it. / The reason why he left.
    Comparison of Adverbs
    Similar to the comparison of adjectives, adverbs have three degrees of comparison
    the Positive, the Comparative and the Superlative. Most adverbs which end in
    -ly form the Comparative with more and the Superlative with most.
    Positive Comparative Superlative
    comfortably more comfortably most comfortably
    happily more happily most happily
    kindly more kindly most kindly
    loudly more loudly most loudly
    noisily more noisily most noisily
    Forming Adverbs Adverbs can be formed from nouns, adjectives and verbs.
    Most adverbs end in -ly.
    Nouns Adjectives Verbs Adverbs
    beauty beautifully
    success successfully
    angry angrily
    foolish foolishly
    continue continually
    know knowingly
