Adverbs give us information about an action or event. Asverbs of manner tell us how something happens. They are usually formed by adding '-ly ' to the adjective.

Many adverbs can either go in a middle position (before the verb) :eg. He quickly walked out of the room. or in an end position (at the end of a clouse or sentence) :eg. He walked out of the room quickly.

* Not all the adverbs end in -ly. There are some irregular adverbs, and other adverbs which stay the same as the adjective :eg. He is a good painter. (adjective) --- He paints well. (adverb) Farming is hard work. (adjective) --- Farmers work hard. (adverb)
