Adverbs

Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.

They often describe how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. For example, in the sentence “She runs quickly,” “quickly” is an adverb describing how she runs.

Adverbs add details to actions or qualities, helping to provide more specific information in sentences.

Here are three examples demonstrating the use of adverbs, the ‘before’ sentences do not have an adverb and the ‘After’ sentences have the adverb included:

Before: He walked.
After: He walked briskly.

Before: She sings.
After: She sings beautifully.

Before: They ate.
After: They ate quickly.

Now a longer sentence

Before: She completed the project.

After: Despite the challenging circumstances, she meticulously completed the intricate project ahead of schedule.
