| 🎯 How to Identify Adverbs? |
✔️ Many adverbs end with -ly (quickly, slowly, happily).
✔️ Ask the questions:
- How?
- When?
- Where?
- How often?
- To what extent?
| 🌈 Examples in Sentences: |
- He ran fast 🏃♂️. (How?)
- She arrived early ⏰. (When?)
- The children played outside 🛝. (Where?)
- We often visit the park 🌳. (How often?)

✨ Adverbs can move around in a sentence.
- Example: Sometimes, I read books 📚.
