Grammar: Adverb

Question:

Name the type of Adverb used in the following sentence:

They went everywhere.

Options:

Adverb of Manner

Adverb of Time

Adverb of Place

Adverb of Degree

Correct Answer:

Adverb of Place

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Adverb of Place

  • In the sentence "They went everywhere," the word "everywhere" tells us the location where they went.
  • Adverbs of Place answer the question "Where?" For example, "here," "there," "everywhere," etc.
  • "Everywhere" indicates that the action (went) occurred in all places, making it an adverb of place.
  • The other options:
    • Adverb of Manner would answer "How?" (e.g., "quickly").
    • Adverb of Time would answer "When?" (e.g., "now," "yesterday").
    • Adverb of Degree would answer "To what extent?" (e.g., "very").

Thus, "everywhere" is clearly an Adverb of Place.
