What are Adverbs?

!!

Adverb is a word that describes a verb,
an abjective or another adverb

3

Let's look at some of the different types
of adverbs and learn how we use them.

! 1. Lata sings sweetly. !

2. He is always late for the class.

3. The school bell rang loudly.

4. We must eat our food slowly.

5. The horse galloped fas
t.

Note: Do you notice something about these adverbs? Oh

yeah they all end in -ly. The words in bold. All these

words (slowly, sweetly, always, loudly, fast) tell

something more about the way in which the action is

being performed). Such words are known as Adverbs.

An adverb may be defined as a word that modifies or
tells more about a verb, adjective or another adverb.

4

Types of Adverbs

There are 6 kinds of adverb in English grammar namely:

1. Adverb of manner

2. Adverb of place

3. Adverb of time

4. Adverb of frequency


5. Adverb of degree

6. Interrogative adverbs.

Note: Adverbs of manner can be formed by adding
the suffix – ‘ly’ to adjectives in most cases.

Adverb of frequency

Tells how often or in what frequency the action takes place.
for Example :
! ● !I am never late for school.




● He always goes to his sister’s house on weekends.
● I often meet Rita on the bridge.
● Avni visited us once.
● He always goes to th
e nightclub to dance.

Adverb of degree

Tells the extent or degree to which an action is performed,

! !for example:

● He is very fast at work.

● The water is rather dirty.
● He is fairly rich but his
uncle is rather poor.
● The cup is nearly full.
● Malak is very beautiful.

Interrogative adverbs !

Use to ask a question, for example:

!

● Why are you late?
● When will the bus arrive?
● How far is it to the
hotel from here?
● Where do you put your garden waste?
● I’m not sure when she ran away.

11

Position of Adverbs

Adverb of Manner (Example: Slowly, well, efficiently, etc.),

!Adverbs of Place (Example – here, there, everywhere, etc.) and

! Adverbs of Time (Example – Now, tomorrow, then, etc. ) are

generally placed after the verb or after the object if there is
one Example: –

● He does his work ef
ficiently. (manner)
● The bus does not stop here. (place)
● Snigdha will leave for Germany tomorrow. (time)

12

Adverbs of frequency (Example – generally, always, !
often) and certain other adverbs like just, almost,
consist of only one word, if there is more than one word
in the verb form, they are put after the first word.

! Examples:-

● I usually reach school by 7:50 a.m.
● The train has just left.
● I generally complete my homework before dinner time.

If the verb is am/are/is/was, these a
dverbs are placed after the verb
Example:

● He is never in time for meals.
● He is usually late for college.

When there are two or more adverbs in a sentence, these should be
placed in the order manner, place, time, e.g.

● The Opera singer sang well (manner) there (place) last night (time).
