An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb.

Typically, an adverb will tell us more about the manner, time, place, or degree

of something, answering questions such as how , when, or where. 

• Example:

•  Mr. Cruz clearly explained the direction of the test to the

  pupils.(manner)

1. Adverb of Manner - tells how an action is done. It modifies verbs. It answers the question "How."

• The suffix -ly is added to the end of adjective to form an adverb.

  However, not all adverbs of manner end with -ly. These are the

  following examples: well, fast, hard, and straight. Most of

  these can be also used as adjective.

• Example: He reads fast(adverb)

• He is a fast reader(adjective)
