To identify the adverb in a sentence, you need to first understand what adverbs are and how they function in a sentence.
Adverbs are words that modify or describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide additional information about time, place, manner, degree, or frequency.
Now, let's examine each sentence to find the adverb and the word(s) it describes.
1. "Keep away from the acids in the science room."
In this sentence, the adverb is "away." It modifies the verb "keep" and describes the direction of keeping. It answers the question "where?" by specifying the location from which you should stay distant - away from the acids in the science room.
2. "Your parents will probably give you permission."
The adverb in this sentence is "probably." It modifies the verb "will give" and indicates the likelihood of your parents granting permission. "Probably" describes the degree of possibility and answers the question "how likely?"
3. "We will soon be going to computer class."
Here, the adverb is "soon." It modifies the verb phrase "will be going" and indicates the time when the action will take place. "Soon" describes the time frame and answers the question "when?"
Identifying the adverbs in a sentence involves considering the context, understanding the function of the word in the sentence, and recognizing how it modifies a verb, adjective, or adverb.
