What part of speech does an adverb modify?

An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

Here's a breakdown:

* Verb: Adverbs tell us *how*, *when*, *where*, *to what extent*, or *why* something is done.

* Example: The cat quickly ran up the tree. (How did the cat run?)

* Adjective: Adverbs can modify adjectives by providing more information about the adjective's quality.

* Example: The dog was extremely happy. (How happy was the dog?)

* Another Adverb: Adverbs can modify other adverbs to provide more detail.

* Example: She walked very slowly down the street. (How slowly did she walk?)
