An adverb is a word that describes a verb by indicating manner, time, place, or degree. Adverbs often end in "-ly" and are commonly formed from adjectives. Examples of adverbs include "kindly", which describes how something was done, and "yesterday" or "soon", which provide temporal context about when something occurred. Adverbs add detail to writing by modifying verbs.
