Can anybody explain to me howe to find the adverb in a sentence?

For example
1.Maria rose early and watched the sun rise.

Adverbs tell

when
where
how
to what extent.

Adverbs often end in -ly.

Which word do you think is the adverb?

thank you Ms.Sue! You werew a big help! The adverb is clearly early.

Right, Candy. :-)

To find the adverb in a sentence, you need to understand what an adverb is and how to identify it. An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb in a sentence. It typically describes how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

In your example sentence, "Maria rose early and watched the sun rise," let's identify the adverb:

1. Read the sentence and look for words that modify the verb or describe how the action is performed. In this case, the two verbs are "rose" and "watched."

2. Ask yourself questions related to the verbs. For example, for the verb "rose," you can ask "How did Maria rise?" The word "early" answers this question.

3. Identify the word that answers the question and modifies the verb. In this case, the adverb is "early" as it describes when Maria rose.

So, in the given sentence, the adverb is "early."
