Adverbs Modifying Verbs. An adverb that modifies a verb usually tells you when, where, how, in what manner, or to what extent the action is performed. (NB: The ones that end ly are usually the ones that tell us how the action is performed, e.g., quickly, slowly, carefully, quietly.) Here are some examples of adverbs modifying verbs:
An adverb is a word that describes-or modifies, as grammarians put it-a verb, an adjective or another adverb.1  A verb is an action word (jump, run, swim, ski, fish, talk). 2  An adjective is a descriptive word that describes a noun (pretty, happy, silly, sunny).or example: 1  He very quickly runs. 2  In this sentence, quickly is an adverb describing the word runs. 3  Very is another adverb, this time describing the word quickly. 4  The very pretty girl sat down. 5  In this sentence, pretty is an adjective describing the noun girl.
