Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Many adverbs end in "ly" and answer the question "how?". Adverbs can modify verbs by describing the action, like "eating quickly" or modify adjectives and other adverbs by describing them further, such as "a really big show" or "trying very hard". Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns by describing them, for example "a hot day", "a happy camper", or "she is creative".
