Ms. Sue · Answer

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. They tell where, how, when, and to what extent. Which of those meets that description.

Sliverstream · Answer

Please bear with me, is it A?

Ms. Sue · Answer

No. What is the subject and verb of that sentence?

Sliverstream · Answer

The subject is day and I think the verb is passed, because passed is a action.

Sliverstream · Answer

I think the answer would be C.

Ms. Sue · Answer

Yes! The subject and verb are

day | passed

The adverb is slowly. It tells HOW the day PASSED. Also -- many adverbs end in -ly.
