1. Classroom Explanation
An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It tells us how, when, where, or to what extent an action happens.
हिंदी: Adverb, verb या adjective की और जानकारी देता है – कैसे, कब, कहाँ, कितना।
2. Types of Adverbs
- Adverb of Manner – how? (slowly, quickly)
- Adverb of Time – when? (now, yesterday)
- Adverb of Place – where? (here, there)
- Adverb of Frequency – how often? (always, often, never)
- Adverb of Degree – how much? (very, too, quite)
3. Position of Adverbs
- Frequency adverbs (always, often) usually come before the main verb.
- With “to be” verbs (am, is, are), adverb comes after the verb.
- Adverbs of manner usually come after the verb or object.
हिंदी: “Always, often” वगैरह main verb से पहले; “is/are/was” के बाद।
4. Solved Examples
Example 1:
He always comes late.
He always comes late.
“Always” = frequency adverb → before the main verb “comes”.
हिंदी: कितनी बार? हमेशा → verb से पहले
हिंदी: कितनी बार? हमेशा → verb से पहले
Example 2:

“Fluently” = manner → after object “English”.
