Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs to describe how, when, where, or why something occurs. Common types of adverbs include those indicating time, manner, place, degree, and frequency. Adverbs can be placed in different positions in a sentence, such as before the verb or after an auxiliary verb. The position of the adverb affects the meaning. For example, "actually" in the first or second position changes the focus or emphasis of the sentence.
