An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. With verbs, an adverb indicates how, when, or why an action is done. For adjective or adverbs, an adverb specifies the extent or manner of the modifier.
Examples:
He walked slowly to the car. - slowly modifies the verb walked
He walked very slowly to the car. - very modifies the adverb slowly
He was extremely tired. - extremely modifies the adjective tired
