Good morning students. Hope you all are
0:02
doing fine. So, I'm going to start with
0:05
my next class today and this class is on
0:08
next parts of the speech, that is
0:10
adverbs.
0:12
Let's understand what is an adverb.
0:15
>> [clears throat]
0:15
>> An adverb is a word that can modify or
0:19
describe a verb, an adjective, another
0:23
adverb, or even a whole sentence.
0:26
In simple words, if I explain you, the
0:28
word adverb, it has verb in it. So,
0:32
adverb means that word which gives more
0:36
information about the verb.
0:39
Now,
0:39
what an adverb can tell us about?
0:43
An adverb can tell us how an action is
0:46
done,
0:47
when an action is done, where an action
0:51
is done, how often,
0:54
or how many times an action is done, and
0:56
how much, that is the extent or the
0:59
degree, up to which an action is done.
1:02
In this way, we can explain that adverbs
1:06
are of many types. Mainly, we are going
1:09
to learn five type of adverbs. Adverb of
1:13
manner, adverb of time, adverb of place,
1:18
adverb of frequency, and adverb of Now,
1:22
let's understand in detail what do we
1:25
mean by adverb of manner. Adverb of
1:28
manner means when we come to know how an
1:32
action is done.
1:34
So, adverb of manner is a type of adverb
1:36
which describes or explains how an
1:39
action is performed.
1:41
For example, she danced gracefully. How
1:45
did she dance? The answer comes out to
1:48
be gracefully. So, here, gracefully is
1:52
an adverb.
1:53
Let's take one more example. They are
1:55
doing their work neatly. How are they
1:59
doing their work? Neatly. So, the words
2:03
like slowly, rapidly, deeply, bravely,
2:07
neatly, drastically, etc. are all
2:12
adverbs of manner.
2:14
What is an adverb of time?
2:17
Adverb of time means when we are going
2:20
to come to know when an action is done.
2:23
So, we can define it as a type of adverb
2:26
which explains or describes when an
2:29
action is performed. For example, I will
2:32
meet you tomorrow. When will you meet
2:34
me?
2:35
Tomorrow.
2:37
Similarly, the words like afterwards,
2:40
today, tomorrow, now, after, later, then
2:46
are all the adverbs of time. Next is
2:49
adverb of place, which gives us the
2:53
answer to where.
2:55
So, adverb of place is a word that
2:57
describes where an action is happening.
3:02
For example, I will meet you outside.
3:06
Where will I meet you? Outside. So, here
3:10
outside is an adverb. Mostly students,
3:12
you know, they do a mistake. If I ask
3:15
them to make an example of adverb of
3:16
place, what they'll say? I will meet you
3:18
in the garden. No, this is wrong. Garden
3:22
is not an adverb of place. Garden is a
3:25
noun.
3:26
So, when I'm going to ask you or
3:27
whenever anyone is going to ask you to
3:29
give examples of adverbs of place, then
3:32
we are going to use the words like here,
3:35
there,
3:36
up, down, inside, outside, below, etc.
3:43
Next type is adverb of frequency. Adverb
3:47
of frequency is that type of adverb
3:50
which indicates or shows how often
3:53
something happens.
3:55
For example, I always brush my teeth
3:58
before bed.
4:00
How often do you brush your teeth?
4:02
Always.
4:04
I really go to the garden.
4:07
How often do you go to the garden?
4:09
Really.
4:10
So the words like really, always,
4:13
seldom, sometimes, usually, frequently
4:17
are all the examples of the adverb of
4:21
frequency. Last type is adverb of
4:24
degree. It answers us how much or to
4:27
what extent.
4:29
So adverb of degree modifies or
4:32
describes the intensity or the degree of
4:35
an action.
4:36
It can also tell us about the degree of
4:39
an adjective or another adverb.
4:42
For example, she was very happy. How
4:46
much happy she was? Very happy.
4:49
I have almost done my work. How much of
4:53
your work is done? Almost.
4:57
So the words like very, almost,
5:00
extremely, absolutely,
5:02
too, hardly are all the examples of
5:06
adverb of degree. Try to solve one
5:09
question. It will help us to actually
5:11
understand about the adverbs. Now let's
5:14
read the sentence. Tomorrow,
5:17
we will all be going to the beach, Susan
5:20
announced excitedly.
5:23
So first they are saying, "Tomorrow, we
5:26
will all be going to the beach." When we
5:29
will go to the beach? Tomorrow. So first
5:32
of all, tomorrow is one adverb and it is
5:35
the adverb of time.
5:37
Let's try one more example. She gently
5:40
closed the door behind her and fell
5:43
asleep peacefully.
5:45
How did she close the door? Gently.
5:49
Gently is the adverb of manner.
5:52
Behind her.
5:53
Where did she close the door? Behind
5:56
her.
5:57
Behind is the adverb of place. And fell
6:01
asleep peacefully.
6:03
How did she fall asleep? Peacefully. So,
6:08
peacefully is again the adverb of
6:10
manner.
6:12
Next, I'm going to explain you adverbs
6:14
in a more easy manner with
6:16
some more examples. Now, I have given
6:19
three sentences. The first sentence is
6:22
the dog was angry.
6:24
Then, the boy walked to the car. And
6:26
third, the kids played in the
6:28
playground. Now, what are you supposed
6:30
to do that you have to add some adverbs
6:33
to each of the sentence to make them
6:36
sound more interesting.
6:38
Now, let's take first sentence.
6:40
The dog was angry.
6:43
How much angry the dog was? The dog was
6:47
very angry. So, see, here very is the
6:50
adverb of degree.
6:52
The boy walked to the car.
6:55
The boy walked slowly to the car.
6:58
How did the boy walk to the car? Slowly.
7:01
So, adverb of manner is slowly. And
7:05
finally, the kids played in the
7:07
playground.
7:09
How did the kids play in the playground?
7:11
The kids played happily in the
7:13
playground. So, here happily is an
7:15
adverb. Hope I have made you understand
7:18
adverbs in a very easy manner. Thank you
