An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where or how much something happens. It can also describe an adjective or another adverb, for example she sings sweetly, very hot.
| List-I | List-II | Explanation | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. Wherefore | III. interrogative adverb | Wherefore is an old word meaning why. It is used to ask a question. | Wherefore did you leave so suddenly? |
| B. seriously | II. adverb of degree | Seriously here tells how much or to what extent (seriously ill, seriously hurt). | He was seriously injured in the accident. |
| C. probably | IV. adverb of probability | Probably says that something is likely to be true but not certain. It shows the speaker's degree of certainty, so it is an adverb of probability. | She will probably win the match. |
| D. consequently | I. adverb of reason | Consequently means as a result, therefore. It shows the reason-and-result link. | He did not study. Consequently, he failed. |
