"The pet store was closed on Tuesday of this week."

1 answer

In the sentence "The pet store was closed on Tuesday of this week," the adverb is "closed." However, note that "closed" primarily functions as an adjective here, describing the state of the pet store instead of modifying a verb, adjective, or other adverb. The sentence does not contain a clear adverb. If you meant to identify any adverbial phrase indicating timing, "on Tuesday" could be considered, but “Tuesday” itself is a noun. There are no traditional standalone adverbs present in this sentence.
