It's important to know that the adverbs are words that modify
a verb (He drove slowly. — How did he drive?)
an adjective (He drove a very fast car. — How fast was his car?)
another adverb (She moved quite slowly down the aisle. — How slowly did she move?)
Adverb doesn' t modify a subject.
adverbs often tell why, when, where or under what conditions something happens or happened
Adverbs frequently end in -ly; however, many words ending -ly is not a guarantee that a word is
an adverb. The words lovely, friendly, for instance are adjectives:
That lovely grandmother lives in a friendly city.
Adverbs of Manner
He did slowly and spoke quietly.
Adverbs of Place
My grandmother still lives there now.
Adverbs of Frequency

She often goes by herself.
Adverbs of Time
She tries to get back before dark.
My older brother sometimes get up early.
It's starting to get dark now.

1.Manner
2.Place
3.Frequency
