What are adverbs?
An adverb is a word that modifies verbs, adjectives and other adverbs.
Adverbs vs. Adjectives
The difference between an adverb and an adjective is the following:
• An adjective modifies a noun.
E.g. \'Lisa is 'pretty'.\'
(The adjective 'pretty' modifies the noun 'Lisa')
• An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb.
E.g. i) \'That movie is 'extremely' captivating.\'
(The adverb 'extremely' modifies the adjective 'captivating')
ii) \'She sings 'melodiously'.\'
(The adverb 'melodiously' modifies the verb 'sing')
iii) \'He fared 'really' well.\'
(The adverb 'really' modifies the adverb 'well')

Read the passage:
Ms. Twain immediately called the ambulance when she saw her dad palpitate aggressively.
It was the most horrible state she had ever seen her dad in. He had always lived a healthy life, working peacefully as a school teacher in Yorkshire. He had never even taken any medical leaves as a teacher there!
The words 'immediately', 'aggressively', 'peacefully', 'ever', 'always', 'never', 'there' are adverbs.

What are the different types of adverbs?
Most adverbs tell us 'how', 'in what way', 'when', 'where' and 'to what extent' something is done. In other words, they describe the manner, place, frequency, or time of an action.
Here are some examples:
i) He speaks 'slowly'.
('Slowly' is an adverb of manner, it answers: HOW does he speak?)
ii) She lived 'there'.
('There' is an adverb of place, it answers: WHERE did she live?)
iii) We'll leave 'tonight'.
('Tonight' is an adverb of time, is answers: WHEN will we leave?)
iv). She 'never' goes out late.
('Never' is an adverb of frequency, it answers: HOW OFTEN does she go out late?)

Adverb rules

b) Spelling rules:
i) True → Truly (the silent 'e' is dropped and add 'ly')

iii) Possible → Possibly ('e' after a consonant is dropped and 'ly' is added.)
iv) Full → Fully (after 'll' a 'y' is added.)
v) Fanatic → Fanatically (after adjectives ending in '–ic' add '–ally'
