Adverbs
An adverb is used to modify
verbs, other adverbs, and even whole sentences.
| Rules: |
- Look at where it
is placed to determine if it is an adjective or adverb.
(i.e., Don’t drive so fast (adverb), That horse likes a fast
track. (adjective)
- If it can be
moved within a sentence, it is possibly an adverb (adjectives cannot
be moved within a sentence).
