Adverb that Modifies Another Adverb
- Adverb can modify another adverb.
- Typically, the adverb modifying another adverb comes before it.
- Examples of an adverb modifying an adverb are "very quickly" and "too often".
An adverb can modify another adverb. Let's see how it's done.
Placement of Adverb Modifying Adverb
Let's say you have an adverb. If you want to modify it, place a second adverb before it.
Example: "She sings very beautifully." - "very" modifies "beautifully".
Examples:
-
He runs very quickly.
"very" (adverb of degree) modifies "quickly" (adverb of manner)
-
I work really hard every day.
"really" (adverb of degree) modifies "hard" (adverb of manner)
As you can see, we often use Adverb 1 (adverb of degree) to modify Adverb 2 (adverb of manner / adverb of frequency, etc). Just remember Adverb 1 - Adverb 2 pattern.
Examples:
-
Your friend visits you very often.
"very" (adverb of degree) - "often" (adverb of frequency)
-
Your friend visits you too often.
"too" (adverb of degree) - "often" (adverb of frequency)
