Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. They tell where, how, when, and to what extent.

Which of those meets that description.
Answered by Sliverstream
Please bear with me, is it A?
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

What is the subject and verb of that sentence?
Answered by Sliverstream
The subject is day and I think the verb is passed, because passed is a action.
Answered by Sliverstream
I think the answer would be C.
Answered by Ms. Sue
Yes! The subject and verb are

day | passed

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