  1. Adverb Review Adverbs are traditionally defined as words that describe verbs. But they can also modify adjectives or other adverbs. Adverbs answer any of the following questions about verbs: how? when? where? why?

  2. Adverbs are the most moveable of all parts of speech; therefore, it is sometimes difficult to identify an adverb on the basis of its position in a sentence. For example, the adverb slowly will fit into three places in the sentence . He climbed the ladder slowly. He slowly climbed the ladder. Slowly he climbed the ladder.

  3. Identify the adverbs in each sentence. The 8:45 train arrived early. The football player threw the ball hard. Herman easily lifted the barbell over his head. We will use the new software program tomorrow.

  4. Adverb OR Adjective The quarterback threw a hard pass to the receiver. It was a terribly hot afternoon. The tough professor gave us the final exam. She sang beautifully during the opening chorus.

  5. Adverb OR Preposition Prepositions show relationship. They show how a noun or pronoun is related to another word or word group in a sentence. If it has an object, it’s a preposition, if it doesn’t, it’s an adverb. Billy ran up the stairs. Billy looked up and saw the alien spacecraft. Aunt Gertrude lives around the corner. I'm sure I've seen that clever lobster before. Hang my diploma just above the portrait of my hamster.
