Adverbs

    What is the difference between these two sentences:
He went to class.
He went very reluctantly to class.
If you said that one was more descriptive, you are right. Congratulations! A world without adverbs is like a world without adjectives: boring and nondescript.

Adverbs answer the following questions:
Where? We met outside.
When?  We met yesterday.
How? We met briefly.
How much? We met very briefly.

    Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.If you want to describe nouns, that's a job for an adjective
