Adverbs

Today for homework, we were assigned to do a worksheet about adverbs. I decided that blogging about adverbs would be much more fun than doing a paper for homework. Before I start giving some examples of adverbs, I want to make sure that you know what an adverb is. If you do not, here is the definition: 


ad·verb 
/ˈadˌvərb/
noun

 a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb or a word group, expressing a relation of place, time, circumstance, manner, cause, degree, etc.

Here are some examples of sentences that have adverbs in them: (The red stands for the adverb and the bold words stand for what needs to happen.)

•  When: Tag often needs a bath. Rosa will wash him soon. 
• Where: Rosa washes him here. She takes him upstairs. 

Here is another way you could identify adverbs: (These sentences are from our homework sheet, and
I am only going to do from number one to number eight.)
