Adverbs are words that describe verbs. In these two examples, the adverbs tell us how the verb is performed:
He walked quickly.
(In this example, "walked" is the verb, and the adverb "quickly" describes how the verb was done.)
She talks loudly.
(Here, "talks" is the verb, and the adverb "loudly" describes how the verb is done.)
Did you notice that both adverbs ended "-ly"? Lots of adverbs that tell us how the verb is performed end with "-ly."

Not all adverbs tell us how a verb is done. Adverbs can also tell us when, where, how often, and how much a verb is done. Adverbs can also be used with adjectives and even other adverbs.
