Explanation of Adverbs that Modify Adverbs:

Adverbs that modify other adverbs are used to change or intensify the meaning of the original adverb. These intensifiers often give more detail about the manner, degree, or frequency of the action being described. For instance, "very" and "extremely" are common adverb intensifiers that make the meaning of the adverb stronger.

Examples of Adverb Intensifiers:

1. She runs very quickly.
2. He speaks extremely softly.
