so adverbs are modifiers which means
that they are used to describe another
word in the sentence and in the case of
adverbs they describe verbs
similarly adjectives describe nouns so
if you want to use an adverb in a
sentence it's really important to make
sure that it's describing a verb and not
a noun
I'll give you an example so in this
sentence
Rann is our verb or it's our action and
our actor or our subject is he which
means that fast is our adverb it's the
descriptive word that is explaining how
he ran one thing that's important to
note about adverbs is that they can be a
sign of weak writing and so if you're
trying to punch up your writing it's
important to go through your document
and circle all of the adverbs and see if
perhaps you could use a stronger verb
oftentimes we need a modifier to give
more information about a verb because
the verb wasn't very strong to begin
with so this is a perfect sentence he
ran fast fast is a little bit of a weak
adverb it doesn't give us a lot of
information maybe it's a sign that we
needed a stronger verb like say he
sprinted and we know that he's running
really fast and we don't need an adverb
here because sprinted is such a strong
word or we might say
he jogged and he jogged indicates that
maybe he's running a little more
leisurely so again just keep in mind
when you use adverbs make sure that
they're not a sign of a weak verb
