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.
(A) Adverb is a word which describes or adds to the meaning of a verb. — True.
- This is the basic definition of an adverb (an adverb can also modify an adjective or another adverb).
(B) 'Always, often, rarely, never and ever' are adverbs of frequency. — True.
- Each tells how often something happens.
(C) Kate doesn't always get up early. — True.
- The adverb of frequency stands after the helping verb "doesn't" and before the main verb "get up", its normal position.
(D) Do they come late to school usually? — False.
- In a question, "usually" goes after the subject and before the main verb: "Do they usually come late to school?"
Example: Does he usually take the bus? - Correct form: Do they usually come late to school?
