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: She laughed.
After: She laughed loudly.

Before: He runs.
After: He runs swiftly.

Before: They studied.
After: They studied diligently.

Now a longer sentence

Before: She completed the project.

After: Even though resources were limited, she skilfully completed the complex project well before the deadline.
