Let's solve the task step by step.

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*
- This tells how often the action occurs.
- ✔ Adverb of Frequency

---

2. Simon is running very fast.

- Adverb: *very* and *fast* (but note: "very" modifies "fast")
- *Fast* is an adverb describing how he runs → adverb of manner
- *Very* is an adverb modifying *fast* → it's an adverb of degree (intensifies "fast")
- But the question asks for the underlined word — in this case, "fast" is underlined.
- So, "fast" describes how Simon runs.
- ✔ Adverb of Manner

> Note: Even though "very" is also an adverb, the underlined one is "fast".
