In the previous quiz we were introduced to an important part of speech called an adverb. We learnt that adverbs modify verbs and there are various types of adverbs. In this quiz we continue with identifying different kinds of adverbs and reinforcing our learning of adverbs that modify verbs.
Adverbs can be used to describe verbs in several ways such as frequency, spatial position, degree of intensity or manner of behaviour. Each of these types answer different questions for us:
In the case of adverbs of frequency we can generally answer the question that relates to the number of times an action is performed. For instance, in the sentence ‘My friend HARDLY sees a movie at the cinema hall’ we want to know the movie going habits of the friend and the adverb HARDLY which modifies the verb 'sees' indicates to us that the friend is not a movie going buff!
