What part of speech is entirely?

"Entirely" is an adverb.

Here's why:

* It modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs: It tells us how much or to what extent something is done or is true.

* Example: "He entirely forgot the meeting." (modifies the verb "forgot")

* Example: "The room was entirely empty." (modifies the adjective "empty")

* Example: "She is entirely too busy to help." (modifies the adverb "too")
