Adverbs are words that modify
•a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)
•an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?)
•another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she move?)
As we will see, adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what conditions something happens
or happened. Adverbs frequently end in -ly; however, many words and phrases not ending in -ly
serve an adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb. The words
lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly, for instance, are adjectives:
•That lovely woman lives in a friendly neighborhood.
