Adverb, please tell us a little about yourself.
Adverb: Well I am glad that you asked. I play an extremely important role in sentences because I describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. When anyone wants to know when, how, how often, and to what extent, they simply look to the adverb.
Here are examples of what I do:
An extremely angry dog barked very loudly all day at everyone.
Notice in this sentence that I tell you how angry the dog is (extremely angry). I also tell you how loudly the dog barked (very loudly). Finally, I tell you when or how often the dog barked (all day).
