Adverb definition

Words that describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, often answering questions like "where," "when," or "how."

Comparative adverbs

Words used to compare the degree or extent of an action or quality, using forms like "more" or "most."

Finding adverbs: Tip A

Identify the subject and verb, then ask "where," "when," or "how" to locate adverbs.

Finding adverbs: Tip B

If found an adverb, ask 'To what extent' / 'How' before the adverb. This helps identify whether it modifies another adverb.
