    ADVERBS: It is a word that can modify or describe a verb, adjective or a complete sentence.

    Adverbs can be used to show a manner, degree, place and time.

    . ADVERBS OF MANNER: they describe how an action is performed or how something happens.
    They go after the main verb. They never go between the verb and its object.

    For example, TOM LAUGHED ROUDLY.

    BEAUTIFULLY, GENEROUSLY, KINDLY, PATIENTLY, SOFTLY, QUICKLY, WELL

    . ADVERBS OF DEGREE: They are used to qualify verbs, adjectives or adverbs by expressing
    degree. Some of them are: extremely, absolutely, slightly, quiet and enough.

    For example, THE MEDICATION HAD A VERY POSITIVE EFFECT.

    HARDLY, SIMPLY, SO, ENOUGH, ALMOST, HARDLY, JUST, NEARLY, QUITE, TOO

    . ADVERBS OF PLACE: They provide information about the location of an action (position,
    distance and direction). Adverbs of place typically occur after the main verb of a sentence.

    For example, GO DOWNSTAIRS AND OPEN THE DOOR.

    EVERYWHERE, HERE, THERE, ABOVE, ANYWHERE, BACK, INSIDE, NOWHERE, OUT, OUTSIDE.

    . ADVERBS OF TIME: they describe when something happens. They are placed at the end of a
    sentence.

    For example, I HAVE TO RUN BUT I WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW

    . ADVERBS OF FREQUENCY: THEY DESCRIBE HOW OFTEN SOMETHING HAPPENS. THEY ARE
    PLACED BEFORE THE MAIN VERB.

    For example, ANNA ALWAYS WORKS ON SATURDAYS.

    NORMALLY, USUALLY, NEVER, SOMETIMES, HARDLY EVER, SELDOM, RARELY, AGAIN

    . ADVERBS OF ORDINAL NUMBERS: these are ordinal number.

    For example, FIRSTLY SHE PUT THE FLOUR IN THE BOWL.

    FIRSTLY, SECONDLY, THIRLY,


    . ADVERBS OF PROBABILITY: they show how sure we are about a situation. The most common
    are definitely, certainly, clearly, obviously, possibly, perhaps, probably, maybe.

    For example, PERHAPS IT WILL STOP RAINING SOON.

    . ADVERBS OF NEGATION AND AFFIRMATION: They declare that something is true or some
    equivalent expressions or negative statement, judgment or logical position. Some of them are:
    certainly, definitely, never, no, not, not at all, naturally, of course, surely,

    For example, THE MOON IS VERY CLEARLY VISIBLE FROM THE TERRACE OF MY HOUSE.

    CONNECTORS: They are words that demonstrate the connection between ideas in different
    sentences, paragraphs or sections.

    . ADDITION CONNECTORS: They demonstrate that the idea in one sentence or paragraph
    supports the idea in the previous one. For example,

    SHE IS AN EXPERT IN STRATEGY AND SHE HAS AN MBA.

    FURTHERMORE, AND, ALSO.

    . CAUSE AND EFFECT CONNECTORS: They are used to show an idea and its result.

    For example, IT´S GOING TO BE RAINING ALL DAY TODAY. BECAUSE OF THAT, THE EVENT
    MUST BE CANCELLED.

    THEREFOR (POR LO TANTO), AS A RESULT, SINCE (YA QUE, DADO QUE), SO (DE ESTA MANERA,
    ASI QUE)

    . CONTRAST CONNECTOR: They are used to present a contradiction between ideas.

    For example, I THINK HIS IDEA IS GREAT. NONETHELESS, IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE

    NEVERTHELESS: SIN EMBARGO, HOWEVER (DE TODOS MODOS), ON THE OTHER HAND (POR
    OTRO LADO)
