What are some sentences showing and explaining the adverb?

Answer 1

There are six kinds of adverbs and the correct placement of the adverb depends on the kind of adverb being talked about.

Adverbs of frequency usually go before the main verb but after the verb to be (e.g., I always eat breakfast at home. I am never late).

Adverbs of time usually go at the end of the sentence or clause (e.g., I left immediately. Please arrive early).

Adverbs of manner describe how an action is done and usually go after the verb or at the end of the clause or sentence (e.g., You dance beautifully. She speaks French fluently).

Adverbs of degree increase or decrease the intensity of an adjective or adverb and go before the word they modify (e.g., She's extremely attractive. I'm slightly annoyed).

Comment adverbs usually go at the beginning of the sentence (e.g., Luckily I had a quarter with me. UnfortunatelyI ran out of gas).

The sixth category of adverbs are those that don't fit in any of the above categories. They usually go before the main verb. (e.g., They both stayed home. I don't even want to talk about it. Do you ever think before you act?)

Answer 2

1. Sarah ran quickly to catch the bus. (Quickly modifies the verb 'ran' by indicating the speed of the action.)
2. The concert was unexpectedly canceled. (Unexpectedly modifies the verb 'canceled' by showing that the cancellation was not anticipated.)
3. He spoke softly to avoid waking the baby. (Softly modifies the verb 'spoke' by indicating the manner in which he spoke.)
