What is the position of adverbs of manner?
Adverbs of manner normally occur immediately after the verb or at the end of the clause (or sentence) in question.
Examples:
She dances beautifully.
He speaks English well.
He drives extremely aggressively.
However, in passive constructions the adverb of manner usually goes directly before the main verb.
Example:
He was violently assaulted.
Avoid is not any type of adverb because it's a verb.
Is too an adverb or adjective?
Too is an adverb. Adverbs can be used to modify adjectives, which might make them difficult to identify. Example: That comedian is too funny. The adverb too is modifying the adjective funny.
