What are adverbs?
Adverbs
are like LEGO accessories: A brightly colored door, a tiny window, a fluffy rug inside.
They don't change the basic structure of the house, but they add personality and information.
An adverb is a word/a set of words that modifies verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. It tells when, where, and how an action is performed or indicates the quality or degree of the action.
