Adjectives and ADVERBS

Adjectives are describing words. They tell you more about nouns.

this mouse is small

my dog is brown

Adverbs are words that modify a verb

Adverbs often answer three questions: How? When? Where?

Tom drives slowly

Jim is falling downstairs

Adverbs can also modify an adjective or another adverb:

It is too cold! (cold: adj)

He speaks very quickly (quickly: adv)

ADVERBS ending with the suffix -ly
