|---|---|---|
| (1) Adverb of manner | how an action is done (neatly, fast) | Arjun writes very neatly. |
| (2) Adverb of place | where (here, there, inside) | Keep your shoes there. |
| (3) Adverb of frequency | how often (always, often, never) | She always drinks milk at night. |
| (4) Adverb of degree (answer) | how much or to what extent (very, too, quite, nearly) | The bus was almost full when we got in. |
