Topic: Adverbs: Definition, Identification and Types Content: An adverb is a word, which tells us more about an action. It is the word, which tells us: where, when, why, how often, to what degree, an action is performed. In other words, we can have the adverbs of manner (how) frequency (how often), reason (why), time (when) degree (to what degree), please (where). We shall look at just adverbs of manner and frequency in this lesson. Types of Adverbs 1. Adverbs of Time They tell us when a thing is done or when a thing happens. Examples: suddenly, immediately, since, before, after when etc. Suddenly: A thing happens suddenly when it happens without warning. No one expects it. Immediately: This means that something happens without any delay. It happens at once, straight away. Soon: A thing happens after only a short time. A fter a time: These means ‘later on’ we do not know how much time passes after a while before the thing happens 2. Adverbs of frequency: They tell us how often a thing is done. They usually come before the verb in a sentence. But if the verb is a word like ‘am’, ‘is’, ‘are’, ‘was’, ‘were’, ‘have’, ‘has’ the adverb of frequency comes after it. E.g. The weather is usually hot in March. Other adverbs of frequency are. I never arrive late for class. I seldom arrive late for class. It sometimes rains in January. I usually get up at half past six I often get high marks for my work. I frequently ask questions in class. I always go to house She occasionally visits her pastor.
