Adverbs enhance our understanding of verbs, adjectives, and each other by answering critical questions about how actions and qualities occur. They modify verbs by asking where, when, in what way, or to what extent, as seen in examples like "drove down" and "smiled happily." When modifying adjectives, adverbs clarify to what extent, exemplified by "almost right" and "unusually rich." Similarly, they modify other adverbs, such as in "traveled less slowly." This guide provides insights and exercises to master the role of adverbs in sentence structure.
