Adverb
A word class that modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs by providing information about manner, time, frequency, degree, or place. Most adverbs are formed by adding -ly to adjectives.
Real World
In David Attenborough's documentaries, manner adverbs like 'silently' and 'effortlessly' shape how viewers perceive animal behaviour, turning a simple hunt into a dramatic narrative.
Exam Focus
Identify the adverb subtype (manner, degree, time, frequency) and explain how it modifies meaning — vague labels like 'descriptive' lose marks.
