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
No. Wished is a past tense verb, and a past participle(to wish). But it could form a participial phrase to function as an adverb.
To identify which word functions as an adverb in a sentence, look for a word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb, typically answering questions like how, when, where, or to what extent. For example, in the sentence "She runs quickly," the word "quickly" functions as an adverb because it describes how she runs. If you provide a specific sentence, I can help pinpoint the adverb within it.
Yes, "needed" can function as an adverb when it is used in certain contexts, particularly in informal speech or writing. For example, in phrases like "He is needed," "needed" describes the necessity of the subject's presence or actions. However, it is primarily recognized as the past participle of the verb "need." In standard usage, "needed" is not classified as an adverb in the traditional sense.
No, "curb" is not an adverb; it is primarily used as a noun or a verb. As a noun, it refers to the edge of a sidewalk or a restriction, while as a verb, it means to restrain or control something. In contrast, adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, and "curb" does not fit that function.
To change the adjective "pretty" into an adverb, you can use the form "pretty" itself, as it can function as an adverb meaning "to a fairly high degree." For example, in the sentence "She is pretty talented," "pretty" modifies the adjective "talented." Alternatively, if you want a more formal adverbial form, you could use "fairly" or "quite" to convey a similar meaning.

The word "along" can function as both an adverb and a preposition.
