Answer 3

Do you know what a adverb is?

Answer 4

Remember that an adverb is "a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc. (e.g., gently, quite, then, there )."

Answer 5

Let's use some examples to help you understand better:

In the phrase, "very quiet," the word 'very' is the adverb. In the phrase, "sang softly," the word 'softly' is the adverb. You know this because they are *modifying* the verbs and adjectives. Adverbs can also modify prepositional phrases, subordinate clauses, complete sentences, and even other adverbs.

Answer 6

adverbs answer questions such as how ? when ? where ? or why ?
How quiet ? Somewhat quiet......quiet is your adjective and somewhat is the adverb modifying it.
