The grammar checker we recommendTypes of Adverbs
Remember, an adverb is not always a single word, and an adverb does not always tell you how an action is performed. For example, an adverb might tell where or why an action is performed. Here is a list of the different types of adverbs:- Adverb of Place (e.g., I did not put it in the box.)
- Adverbs of Manner (e.g., The lion crawled like an escaped convict.)
- Adverbs of Degree (e.g., He boxed more cleverly.)
- Adverb of Condition (e.g., If it rains, the party will be ruined.)
- Adverb of Concession (e.g., A loud voice cannot compete with a clear voice, even if it's a whisper.)
- Adverbs of Reason (e.g., Given today's strong tide, you should expect a tough swim.
