What Is an Adverb? for Kids | Learn about the role of an adverb
Using adverbs in sentences is a great way to add description and detail. In What Is an Adverb? for Kids, you and your students will learn all about the role adverbs play in our language. Similar to advertisements that hype up a product, adverbs hype up sentences and give them a little extra kick.
Adverbs describe verbs in more detail, providing information on when, where, how, how much, or how often the action takes place. For instance, if you want to sell lemonade in your neighborhood, you might create a banner with the word "LEMONADE" across it. But you are likely to get more customers if you explain the kind of lemonade you are selling. Putting "freshly squeezed lemonade" is more accurate, and more appealing! The word "freshly" is the adverb that describes how you prepared your refreshing drink.
As another example, let's look at this sentence: I will read my book. That is a pretty vague statement. When will you read the book? Now let's take a look at this sentence: I will read my book tomorrow. Adding the adverb "tomorrow" provides more detail, makes the statement much more informative. That being said, keep in mind that adverbs can be vague (I will meet up with you later!) as well as specific (I will see you at 3 o'clock tonight!).
