Amazing Adverbs With Prof. Adverbs

What are Adverbs? Adverbs describe verbs, adverbs and adjectives. But that's not all they can do. They can also show time, manner and place!

Adverbs... eg. He ran quickly to school at 5:00. Where did he run to? School When? 5:00 How? Quickly

Adverb describing an Adverb Adverbs can also describe other adverbs. E.g. The boy ran very quickly. 'Very' describes the adverb 'quickly'. Same rule can apply with adverbs describing adjectives. E.g. That duck is very ugly. 'Very' also describing 'ugly'.
