David out.Now, it's time to look at a list of adverbs for writing to make it stronger.

That's what adverbs are,Īnd that's what they do. It's like a sticker, that you, poof, put on top of a verb or an adjective. The way you make anĪdverb most of the time, is by taking an adjectiveĪnd tacking on ly to the end of it. And that means that they modify verbs, and adjectives. If you take the adjective cheerful, add an ly, you get the adverb cheerfully. You take the word nice, you add ly, you get the adverb nicely. So you take the word slow, you add ly you get the adverb slowly. So generally the way to make an adverb, is to just take an adjective, and add ly to it. Which is that generally, they tend to have ly on them. And this leads me to one of the most important things about adverbs. How hungry was Vanessa? Vanessa was very hungry. Right, because hungry is an adjective, and very, is doing this thing, where it's modifying hungry. So we could say something like, 'Vanessa was very hungry'. So let's say adverbs modify verbs and adjectives.

But a word is also considered an adverb, if it modifies an adjective. It's modifying or describing the action of running. So, we can write a sentence like Greyson ran slowly. So we can take this thing and turn it into a sticker. Here's the sticker we've got we can say 'slowly'. What I imagine when I think of adverbs, is I kind of see like a sticker. And this comes from the Latin meaning on or to verbs, action words. This applied, is with verbs, and it's right there in the name too. So adverbs modify everything that's not a noun. What adjectives modify is nouns, and only nouns.

And I should have been clearer in the last video, and said that the stuff Today we are going to talk, skillfully and patiently, about adverbs.
