3. What is an adverb?
◦ An adverb is a word/a set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, and other
adverbs. It tells when, where, and how an action is performed or indicates the
quality or degree of the action.
◦ In other words, they describe the manner, place or time of an action.

4. Commonly adverbs are formed from
adjectives by adding ‘ly’ at the end.
Some are given below:
Adjectives
Kind
Happy
Easy
Loud
Sad
wonderful
Adverbs
Kindly
Happily
Easily
Loudly
Sadly
wonderfully
Note:
Some words that end in ‘ly’ are not adverbs.
Some adjectives end in ‘ly’ too.
For Example:-
1.Sam was feeling very lonely.
2.She was wearing a lovely dress.
3.It was a very lively party
The main difference between an adverb and an
adjective is in what they describe: adjectives
describe a noun or pronoun, while adverbs are
used to describe verbs and other non-
nouns/pronouns.
