hey it's ashley and this is my really good friend
mia today we're going to learn about adverbs you ready let's go
adverbs modify a verb an adjective or another adverb remember verbs express action or a state
of being it's the action verbs that are modified by adverbs adjectives modify nouns or pronouns
adverbs modify these by answering the questions how when where and to what extent
most adverbs end in l y but not all of them let's take a look at some examples some
adverbs describe how an action was done such as quietly quickly softly gently happily or cleverly
read the sentence with me the children read quietly how did the children read quietly nice
some adverbs tell when an action will occur some examples are today tomorrow yesterday soon
daily and weekly all of these tell when something takes place
read this sentence i practice piano daily when do i practice daily great job daily is an adverb
we could also use a prepositional phrase to tell when like i practice piano at four o'clock
however if we are answering the question when with just one word that word is an adverb
adverbs can also tell where something took place some examples are here there everywhere upstairs
inside and outside read this sentence with me he is playing upstairs where is he playing
upstairs nice job remember if we answer where with a phrase like in the yard that's not an adverb an
adverb is a one-word answer that tells where an action happened when adverbs modify adjectives
and other adverbs they are telling to what extent or to what degree that adjective or adverb applies
adverbs that answer to what extent include extremely quite not rather somewhat or very
let's read this sentence the boy was extremely happy to what extent was he happy
or in other words just how happy was he extremely is the adverb that's modifying the adjective
happy and we can modify the adverb extremely too what if the boy was not extremely happy
do you see the adverb modifying extremely the word not is also an adverb
now let's practice can you fill in the blanks with an adverb
take some time to think about it and it's okay if your answers don't match mine
first one i brush my teeth
i'm going to say daily all right next she blank opened the door
how could she have done that oh good idea i'll say carefully
let's read the third one the man was blank angry let's say very yikes
the dog stood how where how about nearby nice work okay now let's review remember that an adverb
modifies or describes a verb adjective or another adverb and it answers the questions how when
where and to what extent now you're ready to practice have fun and remember to always be clever
