Every child has a favorite hobby! Whether it’s singing, playing with toys, running, or reading. But, what do all of these activities have in common? Well, for once, action verbs are used to talk about them!

Words are tricky, they can change and adapt according to the speaker’s needs. In English, words are classified into different categories. These categories can be varied, and usually, divide words by their uses in this language. Some of these categories are: verbs, adjectives, nouns or pronouns

All of these have their own place in an English sentence. However, there’s one type of words that are also essential for the English language: the adverb.

What is an adverb?

Adverbs are words used to change, describe, or add more information about a verb in a sentence. An adverb can also modify an adjective or even other adverbs, with the purpose of making the meaning of the sentence clearer.

There is a common characteristic that makes it easy to identify an adverb in a sentence, usually, they look like adjectives that end in -ly. Words like “quickly”, “happily” or “shortly” are adverbs. However, this rule doesn’t apply to all of these words, so sometimes identifying them in a sentence is not as easy.

Another way of doing this is by looking at their placement in the sentence, which can help when in doubt. Most times, adverbs are located immediately before or after the word they’re modifying. If there are still doubts about which one is the adverb, then it’s advisable to look for the words that are adding information or describing other words in the sentence.

Depending on the type of adverb that’s being used, they can tell a person how an action occurs, or where does it happen. It can also describe when the action happens, or even the frequency of this action.

️ Types of Adverbs

Adverbs of manner

These are the words used to make descriptions of the manner or the way that something is done. This is excellent to bring more details in the description of an event.

Some of the most common adverbs of manners are:

Abruptly / Angrily / Badly / Carefully

Easily / Fast / Friendly / Gently

Happily / Hard / Heavily / Kindly

Loudly / Neatly / Nicely / Politely

In the library, everybody has to speak quietly.

They like their new cat, it has a friendly attitude.

Lisa and her friends are living happily.

Billy couldn’t play. He was behaving angrily.

Baby Boy was reading carefully her new history book.

Adverbs of place

When a person needs to describe the place where an action or something related to the action occurred, they use an adverb of place. It usually expresses where something happens. These adverbs can refer to directions, distances, or relative position of an object.

Some of the most used adverbs of place are:

Above / Around / Backward/ Behind

Below / Between/ Down/ East

Everywhere/ Forward/ Here/ North

Far Away / There/ Nearby/ Outside

Miles Apart / South / Up / West

Adverbs of time

As their name stated, the adverbs of time describe when things happen, for how long they happened, or even for how frequently an action happened. These adverbs are usually placed at the end of the sentence, but their position in the sentence can be switched if the person needs to emphasize something in particular.

The most common adverbs of time are:

Hourly / Daily / Nightly / Weekly

Monthly / Annually / Yearly / Before

Already / Now / Today / Tonight

Tomorrow / First / Next / Soon

Since / Yesterday / Yet / Finally

Let’s call Billy tonight.

Adverbs of degree

These adverbs are perfect to describe the intensity or degree of something, it could be an adjective, an action, or even another adverb. There are many, and they are very different, but some of the most used adverbs of degree are:

Adverbs of frequency

The main use of the adverbs of frequency is to describe how often an action occurs, or how many times has happened, to change the meaning of the sentence. Usually, these adverbs can also be seen as adverbs of degree, however, the use is not the same.

These are the most used adverbs of frequency:

Infrequently / Daily / Eventually / Frequently

Generally / Always / Occasionally / Often

Hardly Ever / Normally / Usually / Never

Cowy is never angry, she’s very sweet!

What are your daily tasks?

Adverbs and adjectives

These types of words share something in common: they are used to make descriptions and give a deeper meaning to a sentence. However, this word’s uses are not interchangeable. Adjectives are words used to modify or describe nouns and pronouns, for example, “I have a purple raincoat”, in this sentence “purple” is used as an adjective which describes the color of the raincoat, which is a noun.

Now, in the sentence “I normally wear my purple raincoat on weekends”, “purple” remains working as an adjective, while the word “normally” functions as an adverb that describes how often this person wears the purple raincoat, giving more meaning to the sentence.

The general meaning of the adverb is a non-procedural sign (that is, a sign that does not change over time). Allocate circumstantial and attributive categories of adverbs by value.

Table Examples of adverbs by meaning

Grammatical features of the adverb

The adverb in Russian is not declined or conjugated (does not change by gender, number, case, like other independent parts of speech). A constant morphological feature of adverbs is a category by meaning.

Adverbs formed from quality adjectives have comparative and superlative degrees of comparison: bad - worse - worst of all, loud - less loud - loudest of all, bold - more bold - boldest of all.

Syntactic role of the adverb

In a sentence, the adverb is usually used as a circumstance (The boy knows the topic well ) . Less commonly, it can act as an inconsistent definition (Mom cooked an egg soft-boiled . We arranged a running competition to race ) .

At school, the dialect is studied from the 7th grade. The proposed article complements the textbook, allows you to learn briefly about the main features of the adverb as a part of speech and quickly repeat the material before the test. We also recommend taking the online test.
