Identify the kind of Adverb used in the following sentence: He couldn't return immediately. |
Adverb of Time Relative Adverb Adverb of Manner Interrogative Adverb |
Adverb of Time |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Adverb of Time Here's why: Adverb of time: tells when something happens (e.g., now, then, soon, later). "Immediately" clearly specifies the time frame for his return. Relative adverb: connects clauses and introduces information (e.g., which, when, where). "Immediately" doesn't connect clauses or introduce information. Adverb of manner: describes how something is done (e.g., quickly, slowly, carefully). Interrogative adverb: asks a question (e.g., when, where, why). "Immediately" isn't asking a question. Therefore, "immediately" functions as an adverb of time in this sentence.
