What three parts of speech can an adverb describe?

An adverb can describe three parts of speech:

1. Verbs: This is the most common use of adverbs. They modify verbs by describing how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

* Example: He ran quickly to the store. (modifies the verb "ran")

2. Adjectives: Adverbs can modify adjectives, providing more information about the adjective's quality.

* Example: The extremely tall building reached the clouds. (modifies the adjective "tall")

3. Other adverbs: Adverbs can also modify other adverbs, providing further detail about the first adverb's meaning.

* Example: She walked very slowly down the street. (modifies the adverb "slowly")
