Before you know what questions an adverb answers, you need to understand what it is.
This part of speech refers to the immutable and denotes signs of action or signs of other signs: The river flows quickly. With the help of adverbs, we specify how exactly this action occurs. Flowing - action. Fast is a sign of action. Or another example: A very sad motive sounded. Sad in this sentence is a sign. And very much is a sign of a sign.
The adverb enriches, beautifies and concretizes the actions described in
offer.
In impersonal sentences, as a rule, there is an indication of the place or time of what is happening. They actively use the part of speech under consideration: This is funny. It's cold outside.
Questions answered by adverbs
The studied part of speech in sentences is adjacent to verbs, other adverbs, nouns and adjectives. It reveals the mode of action, its causes, place, time and purpose. Based on this, you can understand what questions the adverb answers.
If we are talking about the manner of action, then the question: How? How? For example: Read (how?) aloud,go (how?) on foot. The same category of adverbs includes such words as quickly, well, in a good way, somehow, by heart, firmly, etc.
And if we talk about the time of action, then the adverb answers the questions accordingly: When? How long? How long ? These are words such as: tomorrow, morning, a long time ago, summer, soon, etc.
What questions does the adverb denoting the place of action answer, it is also clear: Where? Where? Where? For example: A car appeared on the left. The chirping of birds was heard everywhere. This and such words as from above, tomorrow, from afar, behind and others.
Words from evil, involuntarily, because, rashly and the like can mean the causes of action. It is easy to ask them questions: Why? and why? For example: What didn’t he say in the heat of the moment!
The purpose of an action can be judged by examples that answer the questions: Why? What for? For what purpose? He did all this on purpose. This also includes: out of spite, then, why, in vain, intentionally, there is no need.
It is easy to understand what questions the adverb denoting degree and measure of action answers: How much? To what extent? At what time? In what degree? These are the words: plenty, too, satiety, barely, three times, completely, and others. For example: I had to work hard to feed everyone enough.
Representatives of this part of speech, who do not talk about signs of action, but only point to them, stand out in a special group. They are often used to link sentences. For example: We went to the river. From there they returned rested and cheerful.
Differences between an adverb and a noun in the oblique case
It is quite difficult for students to identify differences
between an adverb and a noun in the oblique case. To do this, it is necessary to correctly put the question to the word, and remembering which question the adverb answers, decide which part of the speech is in front of us. For example: Not at home. What is it? If we say this phrase in the meaning: I'm not at home, then at home is an adverb, since it answers the question Where? If the meaning is: There is no my home. That at home is a genitive noun that answers the question: (no) What?
Be careful!
