Title: Adverb / Introduction to Adverb

Q: An adverb is a word we use to [...] a verb, adjective, other adverb, or even a whole sentence.
Verbs tell us what something is doing like jump, run, or sing.
Adverbs tell us how something is done.
     e.g. (1) He sang loudly. (2) She finished the exam easily. (3) They were secretly married in 1751.
A: describe

Q: Most adverbs end with "ly" like loudly or quickly. But some like fast don't end in "ly".
     e.g. The rabbit ran fast through the forest.
Adverbs usually go around verbs to describe the action.
     e.g. (1) She sang loudly. (2) He walked slowly.
They can also go by adjectives or other adverbs.
     e.g. (1) They are very happy. (2) He doesn't speak clearly.
We use adverbs to make our writing [...] by saying exactly how something happened.
They help make stories and descriptions more fun and interesting for readers.
