Adverb Notes



Adverb Notes

( Adverbs are words that add to or describe a verb, adjective, or other adverb

( Adverbs answer five main questions: how, when, where, how often, how much

How-fiercely, carefully, patiently, well, fast

When-yearly, today, recently

Where-down, up, nearby, there, away

How often- once, twice, frequently

How much- many, few, several

( Adverbs show: time, place, manner, cause, degree, condition

( Adverbs usually end in “-ly”

( They can move around in the sentence.

Ex. Cautiously, we crept up the stairs.

We cautiously crept up the stairs.

We crept up the stairs cautiously.

( Steps to finding an adverb:

1. Find the action verb. (It has to be action to have an adverb.)

2. Ask “how”, “where”, “when”, “how often” or “how much”

3. Look for an “-ly” ending

4. See if it can move
