Adverbs are words that describe verbs. Anything that tells how, where, when, why, or under what conditions that an action occurs are adverbs.
To find an adverb in a sentence, first identify the verb,or action word. In other words, what is happening? Then, look carefully before and after the word to see if any of the surrounding words modify the action.
Many adverbs, but not all, will end in -LY, so you can look for these words first. If a noun follows an adverb not ending in -LY, it is likely a preposition not an adverb.
Here's a few examples of adverbs:
happily / slowly / tightly / well / high / down / early / late / over
Finding Adverbs for Adjectives and other Adverbs
They will almost always immediately precede the modifier. An -LY word immediately before an adjective will almost always be an adverb. If two modifiers follow a verb, without a comma between them, one may be modifying the other. Adverbs of degree such as too, very, and most are the most common modifiers of adverbs.
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. To identify an adverb in a sentence, look for words that describe how, when, where, or to what extent something is done. Common adverbs often end in "-ly," but not all adverbs follow this pattern.
