ADVERBS – a word that modifies or describes an action. They may also describe an ADJECTIVE or another ADVERB.

ADVERBS tell how, where or when an action takes place. They often end in “-ly” but not always.  Yesterday, today,  tomorrow, here, often, never and sometimes are examples that don’t end in “ly.”
