Verbs and Adverbs

Verbs and Adverbs

Typically, verbs are used with adverbs. Unlike nouns, verbs and adverbs cannot be replaced by pronouns or another part of speech. However, we can create verb phrases and adverb phrases. 

  • verb (word) = walk                                        | adverb (word) = quickly

  • verb (phrase)= will walk                               | adverb (phrase) = very quickly

    • They walk together every day.                 |           They walk quickly. 

    • They will walk to the store tomorrow.    |           They will walk very quickly.
