* An adverb is a word that tells us more about a verb.�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
* It tells more about any word - other than�a�noun.�
* It usually answers the question 'how', 'where', or 'when'.
* Examples: John speaks loudly. (How does John speak?)
�� �Mary lives locally. (Where does Mary live?)
��� She never smokes. (When does she smoke?)

* Many adverbs end in -ly but not always (well, fast, very, never, always, often, still)
