Adverbs Part 1: Modifying verbs

Learning new grammar topics can be very tricky. Fortunately, you have our blogs to help you along the way! In this blog, we are going to talk about adverbs and how to use them.

What are adverbs? Chances are you have already used them! In this blog we will talk about the first way we can use them is to describe verbs, which is what we will learn about today.

Adverbs can often modify verbs – which means that they describe the way an action is happening. Let’s see some examples.

John dances gracefully when he sings.
My doctor spoke to me seriously yesterday.
I arrived early to my meeting today.

In these examples, we can see that the adverb asks: in what way:

How does John sing? He sings gracefully!
How did my doctor speak? He spoke seriously!
Did I arrive on time? No, I arrived early!
