What is a Adverb?

I need to know what it means

Answer

Hello!

Thanks for using AskToday!

To find the meaning of the word adverb, I recommend searching Literati by Credo which will provide a number of definitions from various reference sources.  

From the Online Library home page, click Find Articles, then scroll down the list of resources to Literati by Credo. 

Search criteria: adverb

For instance, The American Heritage dictionary of the English language lists the following definitions: 

1. The part of speech that modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, or an entire clause or sentence.

2. Any of the words belonging to this part of speech, such as so, very, and rapidly.
[Middle English adverbe , from Old French , from Latin adverbium (translation of Greek epirrhēma) : ad-, in relation to ; see ad– + verbum, word, verb ; see wer- 5 in Indo-European roots.]
