1.      Definition

Adverbs are words that adds information to adverb, adjective, phrase and another adverb (oxford dictionary).

• a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)
• an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?)
• another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she move?)

As we will see, adverbs often tell when, where, why, or under what conditions something happens or happened. Adverbs frequently end in -ly; however, many words and phrases not ending in -ly serve an adverbial function and an -ly ending is not a guarantee that a word is an adverb. The words lovely, lonely, motherly, friendly, neighborly, for instance, are adjectives:

• That lovely woman lives in a friendly neighborhood.

If a group of words containing a subject and verb acts as an adverb (modifying the verb of a sentence), it is called an Adverb Clause:

• When this class is over, we're going to the movies.

When a group of words not containing a subject and verb acts as an adverb, it is called an adverbial phrase. Prepositional phrases frequently have adverbial functions (telling place and time, modifying the verb):

• He went to the movies.
• She works on holidays.
• They lived in Canada during the war.

And Infinitive phrases can act as adverbs (usually telling why):

• She hurried to the mainland to see her brother.

But there are other kinds of adverbial phrases:

• He calls his mother as often as possible. Adverbs can modify adjectives, but an adjective cannot modify an adverb. Thus we would say that "the students showed a really wonderful attitude" and that "the students showed a wonderfully casual attitude" and that "my professor is really tall, but not "He ran real fast."

Like adjectives, adverbs can have comparative and superlative forms to show degree.

• Walk faster if you want to keep up with me.
• The student who reads fastest will finish first.

We often use more and most, less and least to show degree with adverbs:

• With sneakers on, she could move more quickly among the patients.
• The flowers were the most beautifully arranged creations I've ever seen.
• She worked less confidently after her accident.
• That was the least skillfully done performance I've seen in years.

The as — as construction can be used to create adverbs that express sameness or equality:

1.      He can't run as fast as his sister.

A handful of adverbs have two forms, one that ends in -ly and one that doesn't. In certain cases, the two forms have different meanings:

• He arrived late.
• Lately, he couldn't seem to be on time for anything.

In most cases, however, the form without the -ly ending should be reserved for casual situations:

• She certainly drives slow in that old Buick of hers.
• He did wrong by her.
• He spoke sharp, quick, and to the point.

often function as intensifiers, conveying a greater or lesser emphasis to something. Intensifiers are said to have three different functions: they can emphasize, amplify, or downtone. Here are some examples:

• Emphasizers (menegaskan):
• I really don't believe him.
• He literally wrecked his mother's car.
• She simply ignored me.
• They're going to be late, for sure.
• Amplifiers (menguatkan):
• The teacher completely rejected her proposal.
• I absolutely refuse to attend any more faculty meetings.
• They heartily endorsed the new restaurant.
• I so wanted to go with them.
• We know this city well.
• Downtoners(melemahkan):
• I kind of like this college.
• The boss almost quit after that.
• The school was all but ruined by the storm.

Using Adverbs in a Numbered List

Within the normal flow of text, it's nearly always a bad idea to number items beyond three or four, at the most. Anything beyond that, you're better off with a vertical list that uses numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.). Also, in such a list, don't use adverbs (with an -ly ending); use instead the uninflected ordinal number (first, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc.). First (not firstly), it's unclear what the adverb is modifying. Second (not secondly), it's unnecessary. Third (not thirdly), after you get beyond "secondly," it starts to sound silly.

Adverbs We Can Do Without

For some advice on adverbs that we can eliminate to the benefit of our prose: intensifiers such as very, extremely, and really that don't intensify anything and expletive constructions

2.      Kinds of Adverbs

Adverbs of Manner: bravely, fast, happily, hard,slowly etc.
   She moved slowly and spoke quietly.

Adverbs of Place: by, down, on, up, there, etc.
   She has lived on the island all her life.
   She still lives there now.

Adverbs of Frequency: always,  never, often, twice etc.
   She takes the boat to the mainland every day.
   She often goes by herself.

Adverbs of Time: now, soon, still, then, yet etc.
   She tries to get back before dark.
   It's starting to get dark now.

3.      Positions of Adverbs

One of the hallmarks of adverbs is their ability to move around in a sentence. Adverbs of manner are particularly flexible in this regard.

• Solemnly the minister addressed her congregation.
• The minister solemnly addressed her congregation.
• The minister addressed her congregation solemnly.

The following adverbs of frequency appear in various points in these sentences:

• Before the main verb: I never get up before nine o'clock.
• Between the auxiliary verb and the main verb: I have rarely written to my brother without a good reason.
• Before the verb used to: I always used to see him at his summer home.

Indefinite adverbs of time can appear either before the verb or between the auxiliary and the main verb:

• He finally showed up for batting practice.
• She has recently retired.

4.      Order of Adverbs

There is a basic order in which adverbs will appear when there is more than one.

ORDER OF ADVERBS
Verb	Manner	Place	Frequency	Time	Purpose
Beth swims	Enthusiastically	in the pool	every morning	before dawn	to keep in shape.

More Notes on Adverb Order

1.      As a general principle, shorter adverbial phrases precede longer adverbial phrases, regardless of content. In the following sentence, an adverb of time precedes an adverb of frequency because it is shorter (and simpler):

·         Dad takes a brisk walk before breakfast every day of his life.

2.      A second principle: among similar adverbial phrases of kind (manner, place, frequency, etc.), the more specific adverbial phrase comes first:

·         My grandmother was born in a sod house on the plains of northern Nebraska.

·         She promised to meet him for lunch next Tuesday.

3.      Bringing an adverbial modifier to the beginning of the sentence can place special emphasis on that modifier. This is particularly useful with adverbs of manner:

·         Slowly, ever so carefully, Jesse filled the coffee cup up to the brim, even above the brim.

·         Occasionally, but only occasionally, one of these lemons will get by the inspectors.

Inappropriate Adverb Order

Modifiers can sometimes attach themselves to and thus modify words that they ought not to modify.

They reported that Giuseppe Balle, a European rock star, had died on the six o'clock news.

Clearly, it would be better to move the underlined modifier to a position immediately after "they reported" or even to the beginning of the sentence — so the poor man doesn't die on tv.

Misplacement can also occur with very simple modifiers, such as only and barely:

• She only grew to be four feet tall.

It would be better if "She grew to be only four feet tall."

Relative Adverbs

Adjectival clauses are sometimes introduced by what are called the relative adverbs: where, when, and why. Although the entire clause is adjectival and will modify a noun, the relative word itself fulfills an adverbial function (modifying a verb within its own clause).

The relative adverb where will begin a clause that modifies a noun of place:

My entire family now worships in the church where my great grandfather used to be minister.

The relative pronoun "where" modifies the verb "used to be" (which makes it adverbial), but the entire clause ("where my great grandfather used to be minister") modifies the word "church."

A when clause will modify nouns of time:

My favorite month is always February, when we celebrate Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day.

And a why clause will modify the noun reason:

Do you know the reason why Isabel isn't in class today?

We sometimes leave out the relative adverb in such clauses, and many writers prefer "that" to "why" in a clause referring to "reason":

• Do you know the reason why Isabel isn't in class today?
• I always look forward to the day when we begin our summer vacation.
• I know the reason that men like motorcycles.

CONCLUTION

Studied practice in structure make students more understand in forms, positions, and other parts of word in english. It can help us when we will make a written teks, improve our skills and build our knolledge about english. Structure is important so that we must learn it and not do a mistakes. Learn everything for details from the core to make perfection in our english.
