Adverbs are words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. There are several types of adverbs including those of intensity, frequency, manner, place, and time. Adverbs of place indicate where an event occurs and usually follow the verb or clause they modify. Examples include here, everywhere, outside, away, and around. Adverbs of time describe when an action takes place using words like last week, yesterday, today, and now.
