Adverbs

Adverbs are words that typically modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb or an entire sentence:

• ‘I keep hoping they'll come back,’ Tanya said despairingly. _{[W2F-006 #244]}

In this case the adverb modifies the verb said.

• It’s a very fast road all the way. _{[S1A-021 #195]}

In this case the adverb modifies the adjective fast.
