You have already learned about adverbs that tell how, when and where actions take place. As you may recall, they are called adverbs of manner, time and place. Aside from these, there are still other kinds of adverbs that you need to know.

Are you ready to discover what they are? Please read on and find out.

You learned that adverbs are words that modify an adjective, a verb or another adverb. There are different kinds of adverb. These are adverbs of manner, time, place, frequency, degree or intensity, affirmation or negation.

In this lesson, we are going to focus on the following adverbs:

Adverbs of Frequency – tell “how often” something takes place. Some examples are usually, always, rarely, never, regularly, sometimes, seldom, often, etc.

1. We seldom go to church after the lockdown.
2. Mother sometimes attends mass in the television.
3. My family always prays the rosary before going to bed.

Adverbs of Degree – tell “how much” or “to what extent”. Some examples are very, completely, hardly, little, quite, almost, etc.

1. Grandmother can hardly see without her eyeglasses.
2. She almost bumped on a tricycle when she went out on the street one day.
3. Erika feels a little worried about grandmother.

Adverbs of Affirmation or Negation – tell if an action or characteristic is true or false. Some examples are really, sure, surely, undoubtedly, yes, certainly for affirmation and nothing, nowhere, never, no, not or words ending in n’t for negation.

1. Public officials should not engage in illegal activities.
2. Their constituents will surely lose their trust if they do so.
3. They have to make sure that nothing could stain their reputation.

Adverbs are positioned according to their type. Some adverbs may come before the word they modify; sometimes, they are placed after the word they modify.
