1 ADVERBS

2 Writing with Adverbs A word that describes a verb is an ADVERB. Some adverbs answer the question “how?” The dog barked LOUDLY. The tiger waits PATIENTLY. The girl sits QUIETLY.

3 Adverbs that tell Where and When.
Some adverbs answer the question “Where?” It has beautiful pictures INSIDE. Some adverbs answer the question “When?” Let’s travel to the beach TODAY.

4 Adverbs That Compare Comparing two actions:
If the adverb ends in -ly, use more. The boy worked more steadily than me. Other adverbs, use the ending -er. The cow ran faster than the snail.

5 Adverbs That Compare Comparing three or more actions.
If the adverb ends in -ly, use most. The woman sang most beautifully of all. Other adverbs, use the ending -est. The ant worked the hardest of all the insects.

6 Using Words That Mean “NO.”
Careful speakers do not use two words that mean no (not, none, nobody, never, etc…) in the same sentence. Wrong: I don’t know no one named Sue. Correct: I don’t know anyone named Sue.
