[quote=Anonymous]I'm about to reveal my ignorance (thank goodness this is an anonymous forum!) but isn't an adverb basically just a word that describes the verb in a sentence? As in -- the verb is [i] what [/i] was done, and the adverb is [i] how [/i] it was done or another quality about it? That is what I remember being taught, as well as the hint that adverbs often ended in -ly. If that's true, it doesn't seem too far-fetched to think a 2nd grader could learn a basic definition. I.E. The boy ran quickly - boy= subject, ran=verb, quickly=adverb. No? [/quote]
