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. He seldom goes there | III. Adverb of Frequency | An adverb of frequency answers "How often?" (always, often, sometimes, seldom, never). Seldom means rarely: he goes there only now and then. | She seldom eats outside. |
| B. She sings pretty well | I. Adverb of Degree | An adverb of degree answers "How much?" or "To what extent?" (very, too, quite, fairly). Pretty here means fairly and modifies the adverb "well". | The test was pretty easy. |
| C. I travel daily in the morning | IV. Adverb of Time | An adverb of time answers "When?" (now, today, soon, daily). Daily, with "in the morning", tells when the travelling takes place. | The newspaper comes daily at six. |
| D. The child slept soundly | II. Adverb of Manner | An adverb of manner answers "How?" (slowly, well, carefully). Soundly means deeply and tells how the child slept. | The tired workers slept soundly. |
