Adverbs|
Adverbs are words that modify
a verb He drove slowly. (How did he drive?) She moved quite slowly down the aisle. (How slowly did she move?) |
| Adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what
conditions something happens or happened. Adverbs frequently end in - ly However, many words and phrases not ending in -ly serve an adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb. (The words lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly, for instance, are adjectives.) |
