An adverb is a word that gives us more information about a verb. It tells us:

| Adverbs tell us HOW something happens 😎 |
These adverbs describe the manner of an action.

- He sings beautifully 🎤🎶
- They solved the puzzle easily 🧩
Tip: Look for words ending in -ly for many “how” adverbs!
| Adverbs tell us WHEN something happens ⏳ |
These adverbs describe the time of an action.
Examples:

- She visited us yesterday 🏡
- The train will arrive soon 🚂
