Adverbs

Hi class, I'm Alberto and in this post I'll explain you briefly three important types of adverbs we can find:

-Adverbs of manner: They describe how an action is done. They often finish in -ly:

                                               bad>badly       recent>recently

Sometimes spelling changes:

                                             easy>easily    gentle>gently

A few of them have the same form as an adjective:

                                                 They all worked hard.


-Adverbs of comment: The express and opinión or comment something. They finish in -ly. We can find them:

         -At the beginning of the sentence:  Clearly, he doesn't know what he is doing. 

         -Before the main verb:  He clearly doesn't know what he is doing.

         -At the end of the sentence:  He doesn't know what he is doing, clearly.


-Adverbs of degree: They tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb. Adverbs of degree are usually placed before the adjective, adverb, or verb they are modifying. Here we have some examples:

            -Modifying adjective:      The water was extremely cold

            -Modifying verb:             She has almost finished.

            -Modifying adverb:         You are walking too slowly.
