Welcome to this tutorial today.
We're going to talk about adverbs of manner let's get started.
Remember that an adverb is a word or set of words that modifies verbs adjectives or other adverbs.
Note that the usually modify verbs telling us how how often when or where something was done it's in
the example over here.
We walked really slowly the adverbs slowly modifies the verb walked and it tells us how we walked
know an adverb of manner tells us how something happens.
Have a look at the example below.
I carefully read the note left on the counter now the adverb of manner carefully modifies the verb read
and it tells us how we read also note that adverbs of manner are usually placed either before the main
verb or after the object.
Have a look at the examples below.
Tom quickly left the building.
Now the adverb of manner quickly modifies the main verb left and it comes before it and in the sentence.
Tom left the building quickly again the adverb of manner quickly modifies the main verb left but it
comes after the object.
Building.
Note that such adverbs as well badly hard says are always placed after the verb.
Have a look at the examples below Ali's hard work.
This sentence is incorrect because the adverb is placed before the verb the correct form would be.
Alice worked hard
and when there is more than one verb in a clause the position of the adverb is very important.
Let's have a look at the examples below.
Samuel slowly decided to leave the party.
Now in this sentence the adverb slowly modifies the verb decided not lead.
And in the sentence Samuel decided to leave the party slowly the adverb slowly describes or modifies
the clause to leave the party not decided.
Now some writers put an adverb of manner at the beginning of the sentence.
This is only to catch the reader's attention.
Have a look at the example below confidently.
She entered the room.
