Adverbs

What is an adverb?

Most adverbs tell you how, where, or when something is done. In other words, they describe the manner, place, or time of an action. Here are some examples:

Many adverbs come from adjectives + LY:

ADJECTIVE ADVERB

slow slowly

delightful delightfully

TYPE ADVERB EXAMPLE

Manner slowly Jane drives slowly.

Place here The party is going to be here.

Time today I’m going to see him today.

10

hopeless hopelessly

aggressive aggressively

proud proudly

excited excitedly

quiet quietly

suspicious suspiciously

guilty guiltily

greedy greedily

shy shyly

BE CAREFUL! Some adverbs do not follow this rule, they do NOT end in –LY, and maintain the same form of the adjective. They are called irregular adverbs. Here are some examples:

ADJECTIVE ADVERB

fast fast

late late

early early

BUT!

ADJECTIVE ADVERB

good well

READING

18- Read the text and answer the questions.

Frogs live on land and in water. They have long back legs and short bodies. Their eyes stick out. They do not have tails. Most of the time they move in the water, but they can also move on land. Frogs have smooth, not bumpy, skin. Young frogs must breathe through their skin. Their skin must stay wet so they can breathe through it. Older frogs grow lungs. They breathe through their lungs when they are on land, just like people do. Frogs lay their eggs in ponds and other bodies of water, like lakes. Frogs must move fast to catch something to eat. They must also get away from bigger animals. Some frogs have webs of skin between their toes. Webbed toes are good because they help them to swim very fast. Tree frogs have toe pads. The toe pads help them hang on when they climb. When they climb, they move up trees or rocks. Some tree frogs live high in very tall trees. Those tree frogs have webs between their toes. They can jump from tree to tree. They can’t fly, but they can stay in the air for a long jump. 1. Do frogs have tails?
