In the following sentence, identify the adverb.
Joseph went to school early to do make-up work with his teacher.

A) make-up

B) work

C) his

D) early

I think it is B
Answered by Ms. Sue
No. In this sentence, work is a noun.

Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. They tell how, when, where, or how much.

And I'm not guessing, Ms. Sue.
Answered by Ms. Sue
No.

Please explain why you think "his" is an adverb. What did you read in my explanation or the link that convinced you?

Answered by QueenLollipop
Oops, I meant D. Sorry.
Answered by Ms. Sue
OK. Why do you think D is the answer?

Answered by QueenLollipop
Because it's in or durning the first part of a period of time, a course of action, a series of events, etc.

Example: early in the year
