An adverb is a word that gives more information about a verb, adjective, phrase or another adverb.

For example, in the sentence 'I thought carefully.', 'carefully' is the adverb.

The word 'reduce' cannot be used in this way. Reduce is a verb, not an adverb.

Example sentence: "I should reduce (verb) the number of cups of coffee I drink each day."

REDUCE: related words...

  1. Nouns: reduction, reducer, reducibility
  2. Adjectives: reducible, reductive
  3. Adverb: reducibly
