An adverb is a word used to modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.
An adverb tells how, when, where, why, how often, and how much

Positive adverbs describe something
-well, badly, fast, loudly, dramatically

13. The 3 forms (similar to adjectives)
Comparative adverbs compares two things -better, worse, faster, more loudly, less dramatically

14. The 3 forms (similar to adjectives)
Superlative adverbs compare three or more things -best, worst, fastest, most loudly, least dramatically

15. The 4 types
Adverbs of time- tell when, how often, and how long -tomorrow, often, never
Adverbs of place- tell where, to where, or from where -there, backward, outside

16. The 4 types
Adverbs of manner- often end in –ly and tell how something is done unkindly, gently, well
Adverbs of degree- tell how much or how little -scarcely, entirely, generally

17. Some things to keep in mind
Adverbs often end in ly, but not always
Words like very, quite, and always modify other adverbs or adjectives
Not all words the end in ly are adverbs ( i.e. lovely)
