Adverbs Flashcards

A word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb, often describing how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

Adverbs provide additional information about actions, qualities, or other adverbs, helping to clarify or enhance meaning.

Adverbs can describe manner, time, place, frequency, degree, or certainty.

Describe how an action is performed, e.g., 'quickly', 'carefully', 'happily'.

Indicate when an action occurs, e.g., 'yesterday', 'soon', 'now'.

Describe where an action occurs, e.g., 'here', 'there', 'everywhere'.

Show how often an action occurs, e.g., 'always', 'sometimes', 'never'.

Indicate the intensity or extent of an action or quality, e.g., 'very', 'quite', 'extremely'.

Express the level of certainty about an action, e.g., 'definitely', 'probably', 'perhaps'.

Adverbs can influence tone, pace, and emphasis, helping writers achieve specific effects and engage readers.
