In this unit, I learned that there are adverbs that modify other adverbs (intensifiers) and answer the question: "To what extent?" For example: 

  • She speaks unbelievably quietly.

  1. Noun: She
  2. Verb: speaks
  3. Adverb: unbelievably 
  4. Adverb: quietly
  • They finished surprisingly early.
  1. Noun: They
  2. Verb: finished
  3. Adverb: surprisingly 
  4. Adverb: Early
  • You drive pretty well.
  1. Noun: You
  2. Verb: Drive
  3. Adverb: Pretty
  4. Adverb: Well
