Adverb

     What is Adverb ?

An adverb is a word which we use to modify the meaning of adjective, verb or other parts of speech. It is one of the parts of speech which tells us how, where, when, in what manner, and to what extent an action is performed in the sentence. Some of the adverbs end with 'ly' (which are used to express how an action is performed.

For example:

• I placed the flower pot carefully on the table. ('carefully' word is an adverb in this sentence and shows the example of how action is performed)
• My friend walks gracefully. ('gracefully' word is an adverb in this sentence and shows how to modify the meaning of verb)

     Types of Adverbs

Examples :

      She speaks loudly.

      He was driving slowly.

Ø   Adverb of Place

Adverb of place tells us about the place of action or where action occurs/occurred/will occur.e.g. here, there, near, somewhere, outside, ahead, on the top, at some place.

Examples :                              

       He will come here.

       The children are playing outside.

Ø    Adverb of time

These adverbs tell us about the time of action. e.g. now, then, soon, tomorrow, yesterday, today, tonight, again, early, yesterday.

Examples :

Ø    Adverb of frequency

Adverbs of frequency tell us how many times the action occurs or occurred or will occur.e.g. daily, sometimes, often, seldom, usually, frequently, always, ever, generally, rarely, monthly, yearly.

Examples :

        He goes to school daily.

        She never smokes.

Ø   Adverb of Number

Adverb of number is used to show number of action of the verb in a sentence. Adverbs of number are like firstly, secondly, once, yearly, never, twice, lastly, etc.

Example:

He saw me once. (in this sentence, 'once' is an adverb of number, however it can also be an adverb of time depends on how it is used in the sentence).

Ø   Adverb of Duration

Adverbs of duration tell us how long something happened.They include; briefly, forever, long, shortly, permanantly, temporarily etc.

Example:

"They were occupied." = "They were briefly occupied." - In this sentence briefly shows us the duration.

ü Relative Adverbs

Relative adverbs are adverbs are used to connect a sentence or clause. Relative adverb basically divided into three types, namely:

1. WHERE

Where the function explained noun of place or type of noun that states place (example: place, country, city, etc)

Example:

- The seat where we sat last Saturday is still free.

(The noun is the seat. The relative adverb is where. The adjective clause identifying the seat is shaded.)

2. WHEN

When explained noun of time (noun stating the time, for example: time, moment, March, day).

Example:

- I can remember a time when I could eat four hamburgers.

(The noun being identified is a time.)

3. WHY

Why explain the reason noun.

Example:

-We do not know the reason why he left..

(The noun being identified is the reason.)

(When the relative adverb why modifies reason, you can omit the word reason to avoid a tautology, i.e., unnecessary repetition.)

-We do not know why he left.

Note: When a noun like seat has accompanying modifiers (here, the seat), it is known as a noun phrase.
