A Crash Course in Grammar: Mastering Adverbs
If you can master the parts of speech, you’re in the clear. These are foundational skills we should have learned in elementary school. Don’t worry if you haven’t. It’s not your fault, but you can still fix it if you choose.
In the U.S. education system, many get passed through the system even if they shouldn’t be. It’s common knowledge and I’m tired of people being hush hush about it. So, here is my attempt to fix one of those problems.
Today’s grammar lesson is about adverbs. So far, we have covered nouns, pronouns, adjectives, and verbs. Eventually, I will release this as a free book download on Gumroad, but for now, this will have to do.
Adverbs
Adverbs are words that describe verbs. They answer possible questions about action(s) in a sentence.
The questions:
How?
Where?
When?
How much?
How often?
Examples
He always wears a gold chain necklace.
In the above sentence, the word “always” is the adverb, and the word “wears” is the verb. The adverb answers the question “how often?”
