2.  The main purpose of an adverb is to give more information than the verb has told usthe verb  It usually gives information about when, where, why, how or how often?

3.  Many adverbs end in '-ly', like quickly, slowly, angrily.  However, many do not, like well, soon, or here.  Also, there are many words in English that end in '-ly' that are not adverbs, like holly, jelly and family.

4.  These tell us about the particular circumstances in which the action or the state or the change took place. ◦ How – quickly, slowly, angrily (This is the most common type of circumstance adverb.) ◦ Where – there, down, up ◦ When– yesterday, later ◦ How often – often, regularly, rarely ◦ To what extent – more, less

5.  Examples: hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly every second, once a minute, twice a year once, twice, once or twice, three times  Adverbs of definite frequency, like all adverbs of definite time, typically go in END position. Look at these examples: ◦ Most companies pay taxes yearly.  Sometimes, usually for reasons of emphasis or style, some adverbs of definite frequency may go at the FRONT, for example: ◦ Every day, more than five thousand people die on our roads.

6.  100% (always, constantly usually, normally, frequently, regularly often)  50% (sometimes occasionally rarely, infrequently seldom hardly ever)  0% never  Adverbs of indefinite frequency mainly go in MID position in the sentence. They go before the main verb (except the main verb "to be") ◦ We usually go shopping on Saturday. ◦ She is always late.

7.  Occasionally, sometimes, often, frequently an d usually can also go at the beginning or end of a sentence: ◦ Sometimes they come and stay with us. ◦ I play tennis occasionally.  Rarely and seldom can also go at the end of a sentence (often with "very"): ◦ We see them rarely. ◦ John eats meat very seldom.

8.  Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb.  Common adverbs of degree: ◦ Almost, nearly, quite, just, too, enough, hardly, scarcely, completely, very, extremely.  Adverbs of degree are usually placed: ◦ before the adjective or adverb they are modifying: e.g. The water was extremely cold. ◦ before the main verb: e.g. He was just leaving. She has almost finished.
