Adverb Adventures (Learn about adverbs to improve your writing)

We are masters at using adjectives in our writing to describe how something looks, but what about how something happens? Adverbs tell us more about the verb (an action). Most adverbs usually end in the suffix -ly for example happily, sadly, quickly or slowly. Using adverbs in our writing really helps the reader to imagine the action happening.
