3. Types: Adverbs can describe manner (how), place (where), time (when), frequency (how often), degree (to what extent), etc.

d) He sometimes goes fishing. (How often does he go fishing? Sometimes -adverb of frequency)
e) She is very polite (How polite is she? Very. -adverb of degree)

• Adjectives ending in consonant + у drop the -y and take -ily. happy – happily
• Adjectives ending in -ic usually take -ally.
