ADVERBS

An adverb modifies, or describes, a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. When modifying an adjective or another adverb, an adverb usually comes before the word. When modifying a verb, an adverb can occupy different positions in the sentence.

An adverb may tell when, where, or how about a verb An adverb may tell when, where, or how about a verb. It may also tell to what extent a quality exists. This kind of adverb is called intensifier. Very, too, rather, quite and almost are all intensifiers.

Many adverbs are formed by adding –ly to adjectives Many adverbs are formed by adding –ly to adjectives. However not all words that end in –ly are adverbs. The words friendly, lively, and lonely are usually adjectives. Similarly, not all adverbs end in –ly. Some that do not are afterward, sometimes, later, often, soon, here, there, everywhere, fast, hard, long, slow and straight.

EXERCISE People walking in rocky areas sometimes come across rattlesnakes. Some people are quite afraid of snakes. If not provoked, rattlesnakes are not very dangerous. People often find rattlesnakes in dry, rocky areas. If the temperature drops quickly, a rattlesnake can die.
