Now that you have the tune stuck in your head, keep reading to brush up on adverbs via the handy list of adverbs. An adverb is a modifying part of speech. It describes verbs, other adverbs, adjectives, and phrases. They are used to describe how, where, when, how often and why something happens.Here are a few examples: Verb-The cat climbed quickly up the tree.dverb-Mike worked very carefully on his paper. (very shows how carefully he worked) Adjective-She is nearly ready to go. (nearly tells to what extent she is ready). Adverbs of manner describe how something happens. Where there are two or more verbs in a sentence, adverb placement affects the meaning.
