Functions of Adverbs

What are the functions of adverbs? Well, an adverb has three main functions in a sentence. Its main use is to modify a verb, but it can also modify an adjective and an adverb.

An adverb modifying a verb
The dog barks loudly.

An adverb modifying an adjective
Tess has a very cute puppy.



An adverb modifying another adverb
My classmates dance really well.

Adverbs only describe verbs that show actions. They answer the questions how, when, where, to what extent and how often an action is done. To know more about the Kinds of Adverbs, click here.
