Adverbs perform a wide range of functions. They typically modify verbs (or verb phrases), adjectives (or adjectival phrases), or other adverbs (or adverbial phrases). However, adverbs also sometimes qualify noun phrases ("only the boss"; "quite a lovely place"), pronouns and determiners ("almost all"), prepositional phrases ("halfway through the movie"), or whole sentences, to provide contextual comment or indicate an attitude ("Frankly, I don't believe you"). They can also indicate a relationship between clauses or sentences ("He died, and consequently I inherited the estate").
