Formation of Adverb

FORMATION

Many adverbs are made from an adjective + ly.

huge – hugely

social – socially

possible – possible ( le-ly)

easy – easily ( y- ily)

But adverbs do not always have this ending. These are also adverbs: well, fast, hard, late, just, always, often, then, never, ever, already, outside, inside, yesterday, today, tomorrow, soon, now, yet, still, sometimes, also, too, once, again, even, very, quite, a bit, a little, much, rather, enough.



USE

  • An adverb tells us more about the verb.

E.g. She always drives carefully



  • We can use adverbs before adjectives, other adverbs and past participles.

E.g. The film was extremely good.

You did it incredibly quickly.


  • Adverbs can be placed:

-          at the beginning of a sentence.

E.g. Normally I go to school by bus.



-          close to the verb

E.g. I have always liked her



-          at the end of a sentence

E.g. She did her homework very quickly.
