An adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It adds more information about how, when, where, or to what extent something is happening. To understand what an adverb is, you can follow these steps:
1. Identify the word you want to determine if it is an adverb.
2. Look for words that answer questions such as "How?" (e.g., quickly, slowly), "When?" (e.g., yesterday, tomorrow), "Where?" (e.g., here, there), or "To what extent?" (e.g., very, too).
3. Check if the word you found is modifying a verb, an adjective, or another adverb in the sentence.
For example, consider the sentence: "She ran quickly to catch the bus."
- The word "quickly" is the adverb in this case.
- It modifies the verb "ran" by explaining how she ran.
- Since it answers the question "How did she run?", it is an adverb.
By analyzing the word in question and its role in the sentence, you can determine whether it is an adverb or not.
