ADVERBS

Adverbs provide a deeper description of a verb within any sentence. There are five basic types of
adverbs in the English language, namely that of Manner, Time, Place, Frequency, and Degree.

Here is a brief explanation of the meaning each has, along with example sentences using each
type of adverb.

Adverbs of Time

An adverb of time provides more information about when a verb takes place. Adverbs of time
are usually placed at the beginning or end of a sentence. When it is of particular importance to
express the moment something happened we’ll put it at the start of a sentence.

usually, so far

Adverbs of Place
Adverbs of place illustrate where the verb is happening. It’s usually placed after the main verb or
object, or at the end of the sentence.

outside, into

Adverbs of Manner

Adverbs of manner provide more information about how a verb is done. Adverbs of manner are
probably the most common of all adverbs. They’re easy to spot too. Most of them will end in –ly.

Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of frequency explain how often the verb occurs. They’re often placed directly before the
main verb of a sentence.

again
