"The word which declare that something is true or some equivalent expression or negative

statement, judgment, doctrine or a logical proposition is called Adverbs of affirmation and


negation."

An adverb of affirmation is an adverb that is used in a sentence to affirm it as true /


positive.

Example: I will definitely do that project.

In the sentence ‘definitely’ affirms the listener that the speaker is going to do the task which
is being talked about, ‘Definitely’ is therefore an Adverb of Affirmation.

Adverbs of negation are words which declare that a given statement is false, or negative.

Example: I will never do that project.

In the sentence ‘never’ negates the sentence by telling that the speaker is not going to do the
particular task. ‘Never’ is therefore an Adverb of Negation.
