Adverbs
An adverb can be one word slowly or a phrase in the
park. Adverbs usually describe verbs (talk slowly). They can

Y
also describe adjectives (quite nice) or even other adverbs
(very well).

Formation of Adverbs
• We usually form an adverb by adding -ly to the
adjective.
quick – quickly
Last summer I went whitewater rafting with my
• Adjectives ending in -le drop the -e and take -y.
best friend. I really enjoyed the thrill of being on
terrible – terribly the water. It’s a hard sport. You have to think
• Adjectives ending in a consonant + y, drop the -y and quickly and work as a team but it’s extremely
take -ily. happy – happily exciting! You always have to act carefully and
• Adjectives ending in -l take -ly. careful – carefully sensibly and if you do, you reduce the risks and
• Some adverbs, however, do not follow the above rules. you can enjoy the river safely.

Irregular forms of adverbs

Adjective Adverb Note: There are some pairs of adverbs like hard – hardly and late – lately
good well which have different meanings.
fast fast She tried hard in order to succeed. (hard = with effort)
hard hard They hardly go anywhere without their car. (hardly = almost never/ scarcely)
early early He arrived late for the meeting. (late = not on time)
late late I’ve read a lot of books lately. (lately = recently)

There are five categories of adverbs:

Adverbs of
manner He drives carefully. (How does he drive? Carefully.)
place Your bag is here. (Where is it? Here.)
time I went to the cinema yesterday. (When did you go to the cinema? Yesterday.)
frequency They sometimes go fishing at the weekend. (How often do they go fishing? Sometimes.)
degree She is extremely polite. (The adverb extremely shows to what extent (extremely) she is polite.)

Order of Adverbs
Adverbs of manner (carefully, nicely, etc) go: Adverbs of degree [(not) quite (✓), very/really (✓✓),
• before main verbs. extremely (✓✓✓), etc] go:
She easily passed the exam. • before adjectives.
• after auxiliary verbs. Mary is quite shy. (✓)
He was anxiously waiting for her letter. She is very/really good. (✓✓)
• at the end of a sentence. Brenda is extremely good at ballet dancing. (✓✓✓)
It was raining heavily. Note: When there are two or more adverbs in the same
sentence, they usually come in the following order:
Adverbs of frequency (always, usually,
sometimes, never, etc) go: manner place time
• after the verb to be. He worked hard in the garden yesterday.
She is never late for class.
• after the auxiliary verbs. If there is a verb of movement (go, come, leave, etc) in the
She doesn’t usually get up early at weekends. sentence, then the adverbs come in the following order:
• before main verbs. place manner time
He often walks to college. She goes to work by bus every day.
