L3_S13_ Sentences with Adverbs

An adverb is a word that gives more information about a verb. It can also modify a noun, adjective, or sentence at times.

The different types of adverbs are:

·         Adverbs of manner- describe the manner in which an action is done.

·         Adverbs of time- describe when something happens.

·         Adverbs of place- describe where an action takes place.

·         Adverbs of frequency- describe how often the action takes place.

·         Adverbs of degree- describe the intensity or quality of the action.

·         Conjunctive adverbs- link clauses or sentences.

Adverbs can be placed at any part of the sentence (beginning, middle, or end), and make complete sense without sounding absurd. Another characteristic is that multiple adverbs can be used in a sentence.

Examples

·         Adverbs of manner- The old man walked slowly.  

·         Adverbs of time- Honesty should be held forever.

·         Adverbs of place- The School is located left to the road.

·         Adverbs of frequency- We used to go out as a family monthly once.

·         Adverbs of degree- It rained very heavily.

·         Conjunctive adverbs- She failed, therefore she attends special classes.
