An **adverb** tells us more about a verb, an adjective, or even another adverb. Think of it as adding a little extra sparkle to how something is done or how strong/weak a description is. For instance, if you run, an adverb might tell you “how” you run: “quickly,” “slowly,” “happily.”
### Types of Adverbs
- **Manner**: Tells how something is done (“She sings **beautifully**.”)
- **Time**: Tells when something happens (“They will leave **tomorrow**.”)
- **Place**: Tells where something happens (“Put the toy **here**.”)
- **Degree**: Tells how much or how little (“He is **very** tall,” “I am **too** tired.”)
### Simple Child Examples
- “He runs **quickly**.” (quickly = how he runs)
- “I ate lunch **today**.” (today = when)
- “She stood **there**.” (there = where)
### Adverbs with Adjectives
- Sometimes, an adverb tells how strong an adjective is: “This movie is **really** funny,” “The soup is **extremely** hot.”
Adverbs give more details about actions or descriptions, just like adding sprinkles on an ice cream to make it tastier and more interesting!
