Adverbs of Manners
What are adverbs of manner?
Adverbs of manner are used to tell us how something happens or is done. They can modify verbs, adjectives, or clauses of a sentence.
Creating adverbs of manner
Adverbs of manner are very often formed from adjectives by simply adding “-ly.” For example:
“She is a beautiful singer.” (Beautiful is an adjective. It describes the noun “singer.”)
“She sings beautifully.” (Beautifully is an adverb of manner. It describes the verb “sing.” How does she sing? She sings beautifully.)
“He is a slow walker.” (Slow is an adjective describing the noun walker.)
“He walks slowly.” (Slowly is an adverb of manner. How does he walk? Slowly.)
