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:
Kindly, slowly, here, often, and very are examples of adverbs. Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Modify means to add to or change the meaning of a word. Many adverbs end in â-lyâ. If you are not sure of the part of speech a word would be, and it ends with â-lyâ, it is probably an adverb. Other examples of adverbs would be words that describe how something was done or the manner in which it was done.
