What are the 7 kinds of adverb?

There isn't really a strict categorization of 7 "kinds" of adverbs. However, adverbs are often grouped based on the type of information they modify or the question they answer. Here are some common groupings:

1. Adverbs of Manner: These describe how something is done.

* Example: "He walked quickly to the store." (How did he walk?)

2. Adverbs of Time: These describe when something happens.

* Example: "We will meet tomorrow." (When will you meet?)

3. Adverbs of Place: These describe where something happens.

* Example: "The cat is sleeping under the table." (Where is the cat sleeping?)

4. Adverbs of Frequency: These describe how often something happens.

* Example: "I always brush my teeth before bed." (How often do you brush your teeth?)

5. Adverbs of Degree: These describe the extent or intensity of something.

* Example: "It is very hot today." (How hot is it?)

6. Adverbs of Certainty: These express the speaker's confidence in a statement.

* Example: "I definitely saw him there." (How certain are you?)

7. Adverbs of Purpose: These explain why something happens.

* Example: "I bought a new car to get to work faster." (Why did you buy a new car?)

Important Note: It's important to remember that many adverbs can fall into multiple categories depending on context. For example, "slowly" can be an adverb of manner (describing how someone moves), but it can also be an adverb of degree (describing the speed of movement).
