Identifying Adverbs

Adverbs tell us “how,” “when,” or “where” verbs happen.

A verb is an action word that tells us what someone (or something) does.

Example

Yesterday,  Naomi played with her new Xbox.

Adverbs can describe verbs from many different places in a sentence.

Examples

Luke finished his painting today.

(today describes finished)

Mike regularly draws cartoons.

(regularly describes draws)

Outside, Lucia saw a monster.

(outside describes saw)
