Lesson 4: What is an Adverb?

An adverb is a word that modifies (or describes) a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

Explorers eagerly chase adventure. 

Some explorers visit amazingly beautiful places. 

Others quite bravely explore the unknown­­space. 

Adverbs answers the questions: HOW, WHEN, WHERE, TO WHAT EXTENT  

How? Suddenly, Carefully, Sadly

When? Now, Later, Soon

Where? There, Up, Ahead

To What Extent? Completely, Totally, Fully

Adverbs can appear in different positions in sentences: 

The tourists boarded the bus eagerly.   (After Verb)

The tourists eagerly boarded the bus.  (Before Verb)

Eagerly, the tourists boarded the bus.  (At Beginning)

Adverbs that modify adjectives or other adverbs usually come directly before the words they modify. They usually answer the question 'to what extent?'. 

Marco Polo told really wonderful tales of China. 

People were very eager to hear his stories. 

They nearly always hung onto every word?
