An adverb is used to modify, or further explain an adjective, verb or another adverb. They can add more information to a sentence making it more clear and easier for the listener to imagine what is being described in detail. Most of the time, adverbs will end in the letters -ly but there are some exceptions to this rule such as the words very and never.

Examples:

Neatly, in the market, every day, tomorrow, very, badly, fully, carefully, hardly, nearly, hungrily, never, quickly, silently, well, really, almost…

Adverb example sentences:

• This is an extremely attractive photograph.
• I have a very large pet dog.
• My car drives quickly.
• When I am running late for work, I eat my breakfast rapidly.
• The boy is crying loudly.
• She carefully preserved all his letters.
