Let’s review what an adverb even is………….
Adverbs answer when?, where?, why?, how?, how often?, how long?, and to what extent?
Identifying adverbsAdverbs are a part of speech that makes the meaning of a verb, an adjective, or another adverb more definite.
Where?
Here, there, away, up, outside
When?
Now, then, later, soon, ago
How?
Clearly, easily, quietly, slowly, carefully
How often or How long?
Never, always, often, seldom, frequently, usually, forever
To what extent or How much?
Very, hardly, almost, so, really, most, nearly, quite, less, only
Identifying Adverbs
We know that adjectives modify nouns, but adverbs are the words that modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
Ex: The cat ran quickly up the tree.
THE CAT RAN HOW? QUICKLY UP THE TREE.QUICKLY IS THE ADVERB AND IT MODIFIES RAN
Identifying Adverbs
Listen to me identify some adverbs with their modifiers.
1. If you look closely at the map, you can find Brazil.
2. Brazilians often say Bom dia, which means good day.
3. My aunt travels frequently to Brazil.
Adverb Phrase
Adverb phrase- prepositional phrase used as an adverb-modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb
They answer: When? How? How often? To what extent?Where? Why? How long?
Adverb Phrase
Ex: The soldiers will reach the fort by noon. (this phrase answers when)
Remember: Adverb phrases tell….
When?
Where? How?Why?
How long?
To what extent?
Adverb Phrase
Unlike adjective phrases, which follow the word or words they modify, adverb phrases may appear at various places in sentences:
At dusk, we went inside to eat dinner.We went inside at dusk to eat dinner.We went inside to eat dinner at dusk.
Adverb Phrase
Let’s identify some adverb phrases and their modifiers:
1. When he was a baby, John fell into the river.2. His parents searched for him but couldn’t find him.3. He was saved by coyotes, who raised him4. He thought for many years he was a coyote.5. A mountain lion once leaped from a ledge above Bill’s head.
Hint
When determining if a phrase is an adjective or adverb phrase, remember that an adjective phrase almost always follows the word it modifies. **If you can move the phrase without changing the meaning of the sentence, the phrase is probably an adverb phrase*******
The library is open during the day

P1: She drove for hours.P2: The library is open on the weekends.P1: Saturday, we will rehearse before the game.P2: I saw the clouds and turned toward home.
