Adverbs A word used to modify a verb, an adjective or another adverb and often used to show degree, manner, place or time. The function of adverbs is to intensify the meaning of the word it is modifying. It does this by putting more or less emphasis on the word, amplifying the meaning of the word, or toning down the feeling of the word. Sentences that amplify She completely rejected his proposal. I so want that new toy. I really don t care. Sentences that tone down - The boss almost quit his job. I somewhat understand what you are saying. She mildly disapproved of his actions.
