Adverbs

**Adverbs** Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. They answer the following questions: Where? When? How? To what extent?

Adverbs often end with //-ly//.

**Examples:** **Where?** here, there, outside **When?** tomorrow, yesterday, later **How?** quickly, painlessly, carefully (these are the ones that end with -ly the most) **To what extent?** very, not, never, extremely, rarely

Adverbs that answer where? when? or how? can frequently move around in a sentence. Adverbs that answer to what extent? usually stay put.

Examples: Yesterday I went to the mall. I went to the mall yesterday. I went yesterday to the mall. (yesterday works in several places) <span style="display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am not tired. (not really can't move around)
