1. What are Adverbs?

An adverb is a word that modifies a verb,
an adjective, or another adverb

An adverb will NEVER modify a noun or
pronoun…. EVER.

Those are ADJECTIVES!!!!
Example
She ran quickly into the big house.


Quickly is modifying the VERB ran. Quickly is an
adverb.
Big is modifying the NOUN house. Big is an adjective.
Your Example: Write an example on your
Flipbook flap.
Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives,
and other adverbs by asking:




Where?
When?
How?
How Often?
How Long?
To what extent?
How much?
Examples



I read the funny pages early on Sunday
morning.

The fire blazed too wildly.

Put the apples there, and we will eat them
later.
2. How to Spot an
Adverb
The word “not” is almost always used as
an adverb. Even in contractions!
1.
2. Many adverbs end in –ly.





Sometimes you can tack on the ending –ly to an
adjective to turn it into an adverb
Clear-ly
Quiet-ly
Conviencing-ly
BE CAREFUL, some adjectives end in –ly too.
So you must read the sentence carefully to
determine what word it is modifying.
3. Adverbs can come before, after, and even
between the words they modify!

We often study together.
We study together often.
Often we study together.
We have often studied together.
4. Adverbs may also introduce a question.
These are always found at the beginning of
the sentence.



How did you spend your vacation?

Comparative Adverbs: are used to show
when one thing is/does better or worse than

ONLY TWO THINGS ARE BEING
COMPARED!!!!
You create comparative adverbs by using “-er”
to the end, or adding the word “more”.
Examples:
Jill did her homework more frequently than
Tim.
Jill did her homework faster than Bob.
Jill was better at math.
Your Example: Write an example on your
Flipbook flap.

You create superlative adverbs by using “-est”
to the end, or adding the word “most”.
Examples:
Jill did her homework most frequently than
anyone in her class.
Jill did her homework the fastest.
Jill was best at math.
Your Example: Write an example on your
Flipbook flap.
5. Adverb Clauses
An Adverb Clause is a dependent
clause that modifies a verb, adjective, or
other adverb.
2. An adverb clause will usually have a
subordinating conjunction that
introduces it. (after, before, until, while,
because (and many more…), since, as,
so that, in order that, if, unless, whether,
though, although, even though, where).
Examples:
1.
•
•
•
You clean the bathroom while I clean the
carpet.
Ann was confident that she would play the
best.
Bring in the toys before they get destroyed.
6. Adverb Phrases
1. An Adverb Phrase is a prepositional phrase
or an infinitive phrase that modifies a verb.
2. Adverb Phrases cannot stand alone as a
sentence.
Examples:
•
The carpenter hit the nail with a hammer.
•
We must finish our project before the holidays.
•
I'm saving my money to buy a car.
•
The students all showed up to support the team.
