adverbs add information about verbs. For example they tell
in what manner - quietly gracefully carefully - or how often - never often sometimes - or to what degree - thoroughly, quickly, slowly etc etc
So if you write a basic sentence like:
I eat some ice cream after school. Then an adverb can give more information about the verb eat eg
I usually eat some ice cream after school.
The adverb (usually) tells us that the action (eat) happens about 50% of the time.
Another example:
The policeman arrested the thief. The policeman quicklyarrested the thief.
