Grammar Point

Adverbs typically answer questions such as how?, in what way?, when?, where?, and to what extent?. An adverb can modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase, or a clause. An adverb indicates manner, time, place, cause, or degree.

Example: The dressmaker quickly made the dress.

In this sentence, the adverb "quickly" modifies the verb "made" and indicates in what manner (or how fast) the clothing was constructed.
