The Adverb
|
An
adverb
is a
word which qualifies a verb, adjective or another adverb
Example: This is a
very good book.
|
Here the
word ‘very’
tells us how good the book is. It,
therefore, modifies the adjective ‘good’ and is therefore an adverb.
Adverbs
tell us how something happens.
The car stopped
suddenly.
It's raining heavily.
Adverbs
tell us how somebody does
something.
I went to bed early.
She played badly.
