Students learn that verbs express actions or states of being, while adverbs modify those verbs by answering how, when, where, or to what extent - for example, 'ran quickly' (verb: ran, adverb: quickly).

Many adverbs end in '-ly' (e.g., slowly, happily), but students also learn to identify non-'-ly' adverbs like 'very,' 'always,' 'here,' and 'soon' by how they relate to the verb.

Understanding how adverbs modify verbs helps students see the relationship between these two parts of speech, which improves both their grammatical analysis and their ability to write more vivid action descriptions.
