    Adverbs

    Adverbs
    Words that modify a verb, an adjective, or another word to indicate the manner, time, place, cause, or degree an action is done and
    answer questions such as 'when', 'where', and 'how'.

    Adverbs can be formed from adjectives by adding '-ly'.

    There are three types of adverbs


    (a) Adverbs of manner
    (b) Adverbs of time
    (c) Adverbs of place

    7.1 Adverbs of Manner

    You use these adverbs to describe 'how' something happened.


    These adverbs are formed by adding '-ly' to the end of an adjective.
    If an adjective ends with '-y', change it to '-i' and add '-ly'.

    adjective + ly adverb
    quick quickly
    happy happily

    However, certain adverbs do not end in '-ly'. Some common ones are: fast, hard, far, well.

    She ran fast. /


    She ran fastly. x

    Some words that end with '-ly' are NOT adverbs. For examples: friendly, lovely, lonely, silly. These words are adjectives.
    Adverbs of manner can be used in many places in a sentence, but usually after a verb. Example: Alice walks gracefully on the stage.
    ('walk' is the verb)

    7.2 Adverbs of Time

    You use these adverbs to describe 'when' something happened.


    They are not the same as adverbs of manner. They are not formed by adding '-ly' to an adjective.
    Example:
    (a) When did Mimi leave the house?

    (b) She left the house just now.

    More examples of commonly used adverbs of time:


    already
    at this moment
    before
    just
    just now
    last night/week/month/year
    now
    soon
    still
    then
    this morning/ evening
    today
    tomorrow
    tonight
    yesterday
    yet

    7.3 Adverbs of Place


    Adverbs of place tell us 'where' something happened.
    These are usually placed after the verb.
    Examples:
    (a) The girls found the puppy here.

    (b) There is rubbish everywhere.

    More examples of commonly used adverbs of place:


    (a) here

    (b) there

    (c) somewhere

    (d) outside

    (e) inside

    7.4 Order of Adverbs

    The usual order of adverbs in a sentence is as follows: Manner, Place, Time

    Example:

    They arrived safely (manner) in Korea (place) yesterday (time).

    7.5 Adverbials

    Adverbials are phrases that have the same function as adverbs.


    Basically, adverbials also answer questions that begin with 'how', 'when', and 'where' like adverbs.
    Examples:
    (a) They arrived at 12 noon yesterday. (Time)

    (b) They come here every night. (Time)

    (c) They rested inside the room. (Place)

    How adverbs are used in the text?

    The night market is a hive of activity. You can see customers trying to park carefully along the crowded street. Hawkers are hurriedly
    setting up stalls. They switch on bright lights and loud music to attract customers who walk about slowly. Many people go to the night
    market regularly. You can get everything that you need here. You can buy baked cakes, delicious food, colourful clothing, fresh vegetables,
    and other household items. Sometimes, you will see a street pedlar shouting loudly about traditional medicine he had made from poison,
    which he extracted skilfully from the fangs of a cobra. Most people usually leave the night market with one item or more. There is always
    something there that will catch your fancy.
