3. ADVERBS

4. What are they and what do they do?
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

5. The 3 forms (similar to adjectives)
Positive adverbs describe something
-well, badly, fast, loudly, dramatically

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

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

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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)
