Communicative task on grammar


How well can you identify adverbs in a sentence? Can you name the different types of adverbs and how they function?
Now I will give you some information about adverbs.
An adverb is a part of speech that provides greater description to a verb, adjective or another adverb. Some adverbs can also modify a phrase, a clause or a whole sentence. While most adverbs are easy to spot because they end in -ly, others are a bit trickier to find. Learn more about adverbs and how they're used in different sentences.


Adverbs modify different parts of speech, but you're most likely to find them modifying verbs.
The cute dog runs quickly. ("quickly" modifies "runs")
My patient mother walks slowly. ("slowly" modifies "walks")
Adverbs can also be used as intensifiers to modify adjectives.
The extremely cute dog runs quickly. ("extremely" modifies "cute")
When adverbs modify other adverbs, they create an adverbial phrase.
The cute dog runs very quickly. ("very" modifies "quickly")
The quiet boy plays rather happily in the corner. ("rather" modifies "happily")
Types of Adverbs
There are five main kinds of adverbs, each answering a different question. They include:
adverbs of manner (how something happens) - angrily, hungrily, beautifully
adverbs of time (when does something happen) - yesterday, tomorrow, next week
adverbs of place (where something happens) - here, there, nowhere
adverbs of degree (how much does something happen) - almost, so, very
adverbs of frequency (how often something happens) - always, never, often
