MANNER: how (quickly, well). PLACE: where (here, outside). TIME: when (today, later). Frequency (a subset of time): always, never, often, sometimes.
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Manner | carefully, well, loudly |
| Place | here, upstairs, everywhere |
| Time | yesterday, later, soon |
| Frequency | always, never, often, sometimes |
Adverbs modify VERBS ('She runs quickly'), ADJECTIVES ('a very tall boy'), or other ADVERBS ('He speaks quite softly'). Position matters — adverbs go near the word they modify.
| Modifies | Example |
|---|---|
| Verb | He runs quickly. |
| Adjective | A really cold day. |
| Another adverb | She sings extremely well. |
When several adverbs pile up, order them: PLACE → MANNER → TIME. 'She sang in church (place) beautifully (manner) yesterday (time).'
