Adverb (adv.)

Adverbs are used to describe verbs. They describe how the action takes place in a sentence. In other words adverbs are the answer to the question "how?", which is asked about the verb of that sentence.

Look at the examples below: (Adverbs are in red)

Eat your food nicely.

You guessed the answer perfectly.
After that accident she drives slowly.


It was not a joke. She said that seriously.
As in the examples, adverbs mainly appear at the end of the sentences and are mainly having "ly" at the end. But not any word with "ly" at the end is an adverb neither any adverb ends in "ly". Below are some examples of the adverbs that do not end in "ly": (adverbs are in red)
Neliya runs fast.
You should study hard.
I arrived home late.
They arrived home early.
Your English is good. You speak well.
