Lesson 9: Adverbs

Adverbs modify a verb, adjective and another adverb itself.
Examples: The child was running slowly. (verb)
She is a very smart girl. (adjective)

He wrote quite fast. (adverb)

In the first sentence, the word ‘slowly’ tells how the child was running.

Similarly, in the second sentence, the word ‘very’ tells how beautiful she is
and in the last sentence, the word ‘quite’ tells how fast he wrote (modifies
another adverb).

Adverbs and Adjectives may be same in appearance but different in use.

Examples: Sumana worked hard. (adverb)
These nuts are very hard. (predicate adjective)
