  6. Adverbs answer the following questions: • Where? • When? • How? • To What Degree? • How much? • How often? • How long?

  7. Some adverbs answer the question WHERE? Example: I went away on vacation during spring break.

  9. Examples of WHERE? adverbs: • We looked everywhere for the lost dog. • They went inside. • Mom put my bag there.

  10. “Where? Adverbs” vs. Prepositions • Words that are sometimes prepositions can act as “Where? adverbs.” A preposition requires an object. An adverb does not. • If you want to see the eclipse, you will need to go outside. • “OUTSIDE” tells you where you will need to go, so without an object “OUTSIDE” is an adverb. • Dorothy colors outside the lines. • “OUTSIDE” is a preposition. • “LINES” is the object of the preposition.

  11. Some adverbs answer the question WHEN? Example: I went to the beach yesterday.

  12. Some common WHEN? adverbs: • later • now • soon • then • tomorrow

  13. Examples of WHEN? adverbs: • My parents arrived late. • I heard this song before. • I recently read an article about Africa.

  14. Some adverbs answer the question HOW? Example: The burglar softly crept to the safe.

  15. Many “HOW? Adverbs” are made by adding –ly to the end of an adjective. • Adjective: KIND • Add –ly= KINDLY • The Boy Scout kindly helped the old lady cross the street. • Adjective: STRANGE • Add –ly = STRANGELY • It was strangely quiet in the hallways.

  16. Common HOW? adverbs: • clearly • easily • quietly • slowly Notice the “-ly” ending!

  17. Examples of HOW? adverbs: • The snow melted quickly in the sun. • The gymnast carefully walked across the balance beam. • Secretively, the children hid the gift under the bed. Notice the “-ly” ending!

  18. Be careful! Not all –lywords are adverbs! • The lonely man walked away from the crowd. (Lonely is an adjective.) • Lovely flowers arrived for my birthday. (Lovely is an adjective.) • We live in a friendly neighborhood. (Friendly is an adjective.)

  19. And some adverbs answer the question TO WHAT DEGREE?(How much? How long? How often?) Example: The Arctic Circle is quite cold.

  20. Some common TO WHAT DEGREE? adverbs: • almost • so • too • more • least • extremely • quite • very • not • always • usually • continuously • never • forever • briefly

  21. Examples of TO WHAT DEGREE? adverbs: • We ran fast enough to catch the bus. • She briefly summarized the story. • They never visit the library.

  24. Jane comforted a very small child. • The adverb ___ modifies the ______ ____ and tells ___. • The adverb very modifies the adjectivesmall and tells to what degree.
