                Content
                \n<\/strong>An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective and\/or another adverb. It could answer the questions when, where, why, how, to what, extent, how often or under what condition an action has taken place. Adverbs are formed by adding ‘-ly’ to adjectives, therefore most words with ‘-ly’ ending are adverbs. Some adverbs are however not easily recognised because they could be adjectives in some context <\/p>\n

                  \nThe underlined adverbs above are modifying adjectives following them i.e. tall in (i) and ‘uncomfortable’ in (ii)\n<\/li>\n

                3. \n
                  Adverb modifying another adverb\n<\/div>\n

                  (i) Maureen runs extremely fast\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0(ii) Tosin walks too slowly.
                  \nThe underline adverbs above are modifying the adjectives following them i.e. ‘fast’ in (i) and ‘slowly’ in (ii).
                  \nWe have different kinds of adverbs depending on the type of question they answer.
