• Tom Longboat did not run  badly . • Tom is  very  tall. • The race finished  too  quickly. • Fortunately,  Lucy recorded Tom’s win.An adverb is a word that modifies (describes) a verb (he sings loudly), an adjective (very tall), another adverb (ended too quickly), or even a whole sentence (Fortunately, I had brought an umbrella). Adverbs often end in -ly, but some (such as fast) look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts.

Adverbs often modify verbs. This means that they describe the way an action is happening. Adverbs can also modify adjectives and other adverbs. Often, the purpose of the adverb is to add a degree of intensity to the adjective.Adverbs and verbs 1. Phillip sings  loudly  in the shower. 2. My cat waits  impatiently  for his food. 3. I will  seriously  consider your suggestion. Adverbs and adjectives 1. The woman is  quite  pretty. 2. This book is  more  interesting than the last one. 3. The weather report is  almost always  right.

Like adjectives, adverbs can show degrees of comparison, although it’s slightly less common to use them this way. With certain “flat adverbs” (adverbs that look exactly the same as their adjective counterparts), the comparative and superlative forms look the same as the  adjective comparative and superlative forms. It’s usually better to use stronger adverbs (or stronger adjectives and verbs) rather than relying on comparative and superlative adverbs.  An absolute adverb describes something in its own right:  He smiled  warmly  A  hastily  written note

Words indicating number are called  numerals  . They are  adjectives  ,  nouns  or  adverbs  . The chief classes of numerals are  cardinals and ordinals  . Cardinal numeral adjectives (one, two, three, four, etc.) are used in counting and answer the question “How many?" Here are few examples. Ordinal numeral adjectives (first, second, third, etc.) denote the position or order of a person or thing in a series. Here are few examples. 1. I had to pay three dollars. 2. There were forty-two vessels in the fleet. 1. Carl plays the second violin. 2. Your friend is sitting in the fifth row.

A double row of policemen stood on guard. 2. A fourfold layer of chilled steel forms the door.
