An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, other adverbs, or adverbial phrases. There are different kinds of adverbs, which you can learn more about in our article Six Types Of Adverbs Used In The English Language.

In this article, we are going to cover examples from each of six categories and how to properly use them in a sentence.

The six common categories of adverbs are:

• conjunctive adverbs
• adverbs of frequency
• adverbs of time
• adverbs of manner
• adverbs of degree
• adverbs of place

One thing to keep in mind is that there can be some overlap or repetition across the different categories of adverbs, because words can have more than one meaning or use depending on the context.

For example, yet can be a conjunction, meaning “though,” but it can also be an adverb of time, in the sense “in the time still remaining.”
