Notes by Reazul Razib
1 Adverbs Of Manner
Adverbs of manner are words that describe how an action is performed. They provide more information about the way something happens, adding details to verbs.
Eg. Sheila sang beautifully during the concert, mesmerizing the audience with her melodious voice.
2 Adverbs Of Time
Adverbs of time are words or phrases that provide information about when an action takes place. They indicate specific points in time or time intervals in relation to the action being described. These adverbs help establish the timing of events and actions in a sentence, providing context and helping readers understand the temporal aspect of the narrative.
Eg. She will arrive shortly to pick up the package.
3 Adverbs Of Place
Adverbs of place are words or phrases that provide information about the location or position of an action or event. They help to describe where the action is happening, whether it's indoors, outdoors, nearby, far away, or in a specific direction.
Eg. She looked everywhere for her lost keys.
4 Adverbs Of Frequency
Adverbs of frequency are words or phrases that provide information about how often an action or event takes place. They convey the regularity or repetition of an action, whether it occurs frequently, occasionally, rarely, always, or never.
Eg. She exercises daily to maintain her fitness.
5 Adverbs Of Degree
Adverbs of degree express the intensity, extent, or level of an action, adjective, or adverb in a sentence. They modify these elements to convey how much or to what degree something is happening or is true.
Eg. She was extremely delighted with the surprise party.
6 Conjunctive Adverbs
Conjunctive adverbs are transitional words or phrases that connect and relate ideas within sentences or between sentences. They act as bridges, helping to clarify relationships like cause-and-effect, contrast, comparison, or sequence. They're often used to create smoother transitions and provide context for the reader to understand how different ideas connect.
Eg. She wanted to go to the party; however, she was feeling unwell.
7 Focusing Adverbs
Focusing adverbs are words that emphasise or highlight a specific part of a sentence, drawing attention to a particular aspect. They provide added emphasis, often narrowing down or intensifying the meaning of the verb, adjective, or adverb they modify.
Eg. She specifically asked for a vegan option at the restaurant.
8 Interrogative Adverbs
Interrogative adverbs are like question starters in sentences. They introduce questions that seek information about different aspects of an action or event. They help clarify the context of a question by indicating what specific detail is being inquired about.
Eg. Where did you find that rare book?
Relative Adverbs
Relative adverbs are words that connect a main clause to a dependent (or relative) clause. They provide additional information about the nouns in the main clause, clarifying aspects like place, time, reason, or manner.
Eg. I visited the park where we used to play as children.
Note: It is not an adverbial clause because it(where) modifies the noun (the park) not verb (visited)
