00:00Hi kids, today we will learn what are adverbs.
00:06So let's start.
00:09We learned adjectives are the words that describe nouns.
00:17Let's watch a movie.
00:19The word movie is a noun.
00:22It is not described here.
00:26Let's watch a funny movie.
00:28Here the word movie is described with the word funny.
00:33So the word funny is the adjective here.
00:39A book is lying on the table.
00:43Here the word book is a naming word as it is the name of a thing.
00:51This sentence is not telling us anything about the book as we don't know what kind
00:57of book it is.
01:01An interesting book is lying on the table.
01:05Now in this sentence the word interesting tells us about the book, that what kind of
01:13book is lying on the table.
01:17So we know adjectives are the words that describe nouns and pronouns.
01:25Similarly, adverbs are the words that describe adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs.
01:34I repeat, adverbs are the words that describe adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs.
01:42Let's learn with some examples.
01:45Tia danced beautifully.
01:49Here danced is a verb, that is an action word, and the word beautifully is describing how
01:56Tia danced.
01:58So the word beautifully is an adverb as it is describing or giving more information about
02:06the verb danced.
02:09The dog is walking slowly.
02:12Here walking is a verb or an action verb, and the word slowly is describing or giving
02:21more information about the verb walking.
02:25So slowly is an adverb.
02:31Joy often comes to my place.
02:34Here comes is a verb, that is an action word, and the word often is describing or giving
02:42more information about the action of coming.
02:47So often is an adverb.
02:51She is very intelligent.
02:53Here the word intelligent is an adjective as it is describing the pronoun she or giving
03:00more information about the pronoun she.
03:05And the word very is giving more information about the adjective intelligent.
03:12So it's an adverb as adverbs are the words that describe adjectives, verbs, or other
03:20adverbs.
03:22So the word very is an adverb.
03:27She sang extremely well.
03:30Here saying is a verb or action word.
03:35As well is the adverb that describes how she sang.
03:41Extremely is also an adverb that further highlights the adverb well.
03:47So adverbs are the words that describe or give more information about adjectives, verbs,
03:56or other adverbs.
03:59Let's have a look at some more examples.
04:03She writes very neatly.
04:07Here writes is a verb, that is an action word, and neatly is an adverb that describes or
04:14gives more information about the action of writing.
04:20The adverb very gives more information about the adverb neatly.
04:26So it's also an adverb.
04:30So the main function of an adverb is to tell us how, when, where, why, and to what extent
04:38something happens.
04:41So kids, we will learn more about them in our next assignment.
04:46Now you may go ahead and take a quiz to learn more.
04:50Bye bye.
