Remember, don’t use too many adjectives in your writing.

Adverbs

Ray

Adverbs are describing words.

They are often used to tell us how a verb is performed.

Adverbs also tell us when, where, how, in what manner and to what extent a verb is performed.

For example,

The man ran quickly.
Abbie spoke softly.

Adverbs often end in ly (but not always).

They can be used to affect adjectives and other adverbs.

For example,

Sam is ridiculously clever
It was done really well.

Remember, adverbs can improve your description, but don’t use too many.
