Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They often provide additional information about how, when, where, why, or to what extent something happens. Here are some examples of each type:
1. **Modifying Verbs**:
- She runs **quickly**. (How does she run?)
- He will call you **tomorrow**. (When will he call?)
2. **Modifying Adjectives**:
- She is **very** talented. (To what extent is she talented?)
- This test is **incredibly** difficult. (How difficult is the test?)
3. **Modifying Other Adverbs**:
- He completed the task **quite** easily. (To what extent did he complete it easily?)
- She sings **too** loudly. (To what extent does she sing loudly?)
Adverbs can be formed in various ways; many end in "-ly" (e.g., quickly, slowly, happily), but not all adverbs do (e.g., very, well, fast). They play a crucial role in providing clarity and detail in sentences.
