Understanding the Types of Adverbs:
The worksheet explains five types of adverbs:
1.
Adverb of Time – tells *when* something happens.
Example: *tomorrow*, *yesterday*
2.
Adverb of Place – tells *where* something happens.
Example: *around*, *eastward*
3.
Adverb of Manner – tells *how* something happens.
Example: *slowly*, *carefully*
4.
Adverb of Frequency – tells *how often* something happens.
Example: *always*, *never*, *sometimes*
5.
Adverb of Degree – tells *how much* or *to what extent*.
Example: *almost*, *very*, *extremely*
---
Now, let’s analyze each sentence and identify the type of adverb.
---
1. I always brush my teeth.
-
Adverb: *always*
-
Meaning: How often? → It describes frequency.
-
✔ Answer: Adverb of
Frequency

2. Simon is running very fast.
-
Adverb: *very fast* — both are adverbs.
- *very* modifies *fast*, so it's an adverb of degree modifying another adverb.
- *fast* is an adverb of manner (describing how he runs).
- But the question asks for the underlined word — in this case,
"fast" is underlined.
- *Fast* describes *how* Simon is running → manner.
-
✔ Answer: Adverb of
Manner
> Note: "Very" is also an adverb of degree, but since only "fast" is underlined, we focus on that.
