Hey there, in this lesson, I am going to teach you
all about adverbs.
You will learn what is an adverb,
what are the different types of adverbs and
how to use adverbs correctly.
We will focus on avoiding common mistakes in two areas
comparative and superlative forms and then
the very important topic, putting adverbs in the correct
position in a sentence. So let’s start.
Before we begin, as always,
if you have any questions at all,
just let me know in the comments section below,
and I will talk to you there.
Alright, so to start, let me ask you a question
what is an adverb? Some people say adverbs
are like adjectives - you know adjectives
(words like good, bad, beautiful, tall, short etc.)
they give information about nouns.
So people say adverbs give information about verbs.
Well, that’s only half-correct.
Because adverbs are very talented words
they can give us information about verbs
but they can also give us information about adjectives,
other adverbs and even about whole sentences.
Now adverbs are all around us - words like slowly,
unfortunately, very, enough, tomorrow, however, always
and so on and so forth.
I’m sure you use adverbs all the time.
But why do we use them?
Well we use adverbs because they answer some
important questions about our sentences
questions like when, where, how, how much, how often etc.
Take a look at these examples: in number one,
‘He ate the sandwich quickly’ - ‘quickly’ is the adverb
it gives information about the verb ‘ate’
how did he eat the sandwich? He ate it quickly.
In number two, how beautiful is Tami in that dress?
She is really beautiful (it means very beautiful).
So the adverb ‘really’ modifies the adjective ‘beautiful’
that means it gives information about the adjective.
In number three, we have an adverb of place.
Can you identify it? It’s the word ‘here’ which
gives us the answer to the question ‘where’.
In number four, we have an adverb of time - which is it?
It’s ‘yesterday’ and it tells us when.
And in number five, can you identify the adverb?
The adverb is the word ‘sometimes’ which answers
the question ‘How often’ - How often do I drink coffee?
Every morning? No, only sometimes.
So here you see all the different things
that adverbs can do. And based on these functions
(or the different jobs that they do),
adverbs are divided into five common types.
Let’s talk about that.
OK, adverbs are usually classified as adverbs of manner,
degree, place, time and frequency. Adverbs of manner
tell us how (that is, in what way an action happens).
Adverbs of degreetell us how much (very good,
really strong and so on). Adverbs of placeand time
tell us where and when. Adverbs of frequency tell us
how often (always, never, sometimes and etc.).
Now there are also many other types such as adverbs
of opinion - ‘fortunately’, ‘personally’, ‘sadly’ etc.
these help us to express our point of view,
and there are also connecting or linking adverbs like
‘moreover’, ‘however’, ‘on the other hand’, ‘therefore’ etc.
But the most important adverbs for us
are the five that we discussed.
OK, at this point, I want to give you
an important tip about words that end with ‘ly’
When you say adverb, people generally think of words like
slowly, quickly, happily, sadly, quietly, loudly and so on.
So it’s easy to think that all adverbs end with ‘ly’.
But this is not true. In this chart,
you can see many examples of adverbs that have this ending.
Also, there are many adjectives that end with ‘ly’
words like friendly (like She’s a friendly person) or
lovely (what a lovely bouquet - that’s a bunch of flowers)
these are adjectives, not adverbs. So remember:
many adverbs don’t end with ‘ly’ and some words
that end with ‘ly’ can be adjectives.
So, now, before we go any further, I want to give you
a quick test and check if
you can identify adverbs correctly.

A clarification: in the chart at 10:05, the comparative form of *far* should be *farther.* It says -father,- which is a typo (mistake made when typing).
Sir, I recently follow your tutorials, your way of teaching is very good. great love and respect from Pakistan.

How may I use the Adverb Mere? However, I am aware of the correct use of merely even though Please consider me I don't know anything about it.
Is teacher thanks teacher
As a native English speaker who has always done very well on verbal and written exams, this is by far the best description of adverbs I've ever heard! I have understood them intuitively as a native speaker, but this video has helped clarify a lot of confusion I've always had with adverbs, so I'm excited to check out your other videos. For me, this video is like learning the hidden (but clear) rules of music theory in the songs I know by heart - thank you!
I never had a teacher like you, when I was in school, otherwise I got 100 marks in English. Thank you Sir your way of presentation is marvelous.

Made it very easy to understand! Thankyou!
Thanks for the very instructive lesson!
Thank you so much for a great lesson today
Excellent job Mr. Ganesh ! I have gone through various videos on you tube regarding lessons on adverbs. however, I find your way of describing adverbs ; their different use, appropriate placement in the sentences and they way you have classified through chart e.g. adverbs of place, frequency, manner are incredible.
Thanks for making these great videos. I have a following question:
Instead of saying
Jeremy carefully placed the candles on the cake.
is it okay to say
Jeremy placed the candles carefully on the cake.
Both sounds okay to me and so not sure which one is correct or more commonly used.
I think the latter one is used a little bit more frequently but they all totally make sense. Adverbs can be located in diverse places in a sentence
I love most of your lessons, sir!
Wow !You took my breath away . you are the best
Thank you so much for those fantastic lessons!

Glad to hear it, Pulkit :)
hi... i´m a Beginner english student, and i just wanna say to you that i've been seeing alot of videos for a long time, but no one teach like you. when i found your channel and i saw the first video, i got subscribed immediately.... all your videos are helping me so much. i don't even know if i wrote it correctly hahahaha anyway! i just had want to practice telling you what i think about thanks!!!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm very happy to know that the lessons are useful for you. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions :)
Doing great job.... I never listened this type of classes before.. Exactly u taught what beginner's think where they confused regarding adverbs..
*Irwin* you are doing very well there, for a beginner! You can compare what you wrote to how I (a native speaker) would write it:
*Hi.* *I'm* a *beginning* *English* student, and I just *want to* say to you that *I've* been *watching* a lot of videos for a long time, but no one *teaches* like you. When I found your channel, and I saw the first video, I *subscribed* immediately! All your videos are helping me so much! I don't even know if *I'm writing this* correctly... hahaha! *Anyway,* I just *wanted to* practice *by* telling you what *I* think about *your lessons.* Thanks!!!
Most of your mistakes are very minor. My advice is to never neglect practicing correct English! All practice helps. Practicing things you know are wrong builds bad habits. Do not use your mobile phone as an excuse to be lazy, either. Always follow capitalization rules, such as capitalize "I" and the first word of each sentence. The apostrophe is (') not (`). Slang words like "wanna" are okay to use, as long as you have mastered the words they replace.
I did understood everything you were saying, until the last sentence. I had to think about that one a bit. Remember to always describe what you are thinking about when you use the verb form "think about."
thank you this was very helpful
I have been watching your videos sir for six months. more or less there were 2.5 lakh subscribers were there. Now it is 1.57 million subscribers what a rapid growth like corono virus sir. Hats off to Ganesh master. Thank you for being one of your students.
Thank you for explain about the adverbs. It was help me a lot with my English knowledge. I could understand all the topic here.

Thank you very much for a great lesson about "Adverb".
Your lesson helped me a lot to understand an important grammar.
I'm glad to hear that, Javkhlan :)
You are a real talent . Such a lucid teaching way.
Beautifully explained 💕
finally.😀
hurrah
Haha, thanks. Finally indeed :D
nice
lovee
Could you please create a slide which shows the order in which one should study using your videos? I mean, first study parts of speech then tenses then punctuation, etc. That would be very helpful. Look forward to hearing from you.
Up to now I have not been making the lessons in any particular order because I make videos in response to requests that I get from viewers. But you could start with 1. parts of speech basics, 2. tenses, 3. modal verbs, 4. prepositions, 5. articles, 6. relative clauses, 7. infinitives vs. gerunds (to vs -ing), 8. subject-verb agreement
Thank you very much for giving excellent support to improve our english skills. you are a great teacher .
Thanks a lot my to explain adverbs. :)
Yet another great video. You make grammar so easy for us to learn. Thanks a lot sir.
You're welcome. It's great to hear that you are finding the grammar lessons helpful :)

Thanks for the Video, There is small typo in the video at 10:30, the comparative of far should be farther.
I never noticed that. Thank you for pointing it out, Abhi :)
@@LearnEnglishLab yes should be farther in place of father
hello. In the 3rd sentence if we write - Jeremy placed the candles carefully on the cake. will this be correct?
Not sounds well. It may also be correct if placed at last.

Hello. I am foreigner english student who listens your channel. I was always and continuously mistaking my sentence with adverb of frequency and manners. Your lessen have saved me.
I will keep on see you. Thanks.
Is there any rule about adverb order in a sentence?
For example: At my apartment, last night, a friend of mine spoke loudly around midnight.
A friend of mine spoke loudly around midnight at my apartment last night.
(OR) Last night a friend of mine, spoke loudly midnight at my apartment.
especially in Namibian question paper, i always falling this. is it my choice to or not follow given texts?
Ganesh, Thank you very much I have learnt immense amount of information, in an exciting way also thank you :)

Hello . My favorite professor. I hope you are fine. I am youssef Namrane. I am student in Morocco. I study English. So I am very interesting for all the videos that you posted on TH-cam. But I have many questions. First, in the lesson of Adjectives. You did not mention the types of Adjectives ( attributive or predictive or postpositive) and the same thing . With adverbs. You did not mention adjuncts conjunct and disjunct . So if you don't mind, could you please explain for us this .
Very informative video, excessive ads making inconvenience though.
well done as excellent teaching and i understand clearly . Thanks million from myanmar.
I just love your videos. I wish i knew about you when i was in school.
